Burgundy

The pedoclimatic conditions of Burgundy, combined with the special savoir-faire of the vigneron, due to centuries of high-quality agronomic practices, result in a unique terroir. The care and specificity extend in this region to the definition of "climat," recognized by UNESCO. More selective than terroir, it refers to a single vineyard with specific characteristics of soil, climate, exposure, and cultivation methods.

The vineyards of Burgundy stretch for about 250 km from Chablis in the north to the Mâconnais, bordering the Rhône Valley, in the south.

The climate of Burgundy is predominantly continental, with slight maritime influences in the western area and Mediterranean influences in the southernmost part. Winters are cold, with fairly frequent frosts, sometimes even in spring; rainfall is minimal during the vine's budding period but intense between May and June, which can compromise flowering and thus the harvest.

The soil of Burgundy is formed from marine sedimentations mixed with limestone, marl, and clay, with limestone prevailing in the Côte d'Or, from Dijon to Chagny.

Côte de Beaune

The Côte de Beaune is an extraordinary region, stretching 26 km from Ladoix-Serrigny to Santenay. This region boasts a unique balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties, with Chardonnay predominating in the Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir more prevalent around Beaune and further south.

The diversity of the terroir in the Côte de Beaune is reflected in its wines, which represent some of the finest expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the world.
An area that boasts a unique balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties.
