Burgundy Climat


A precisely delimited vineyard parcel shaped over centuries, bearing its own place name and recognised for distinct geological, hydrometric and exposure characteristics. Burgundy counts more than a thousand climats lined along its slopes. This mosaic, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015, underpins the appellation hierarchy and structures the wine lists of luxury hotels seeking the finest terroir expression.
