The Climats, terroirs of Burgundy
Located on the slopes of the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune, south of the city of Dijon, the vineyard plots are clearly demarcated. These plots are distinct due to specific natural conditions (geology and sunlight) and to the different grape varieties, and human cultivation has shaped these cultural landscapes. Over time, they have become known through the wines they produce. This cultural landscape consists of two parts. The first is the vineyards and the associated production units, including the village and the town of Beaune, which together represent the commercial aspect of Beaune. The production system. The second part includes the historic center of Dijon, which embodies the political regulatory dynamics that gave rise to the climatic system. The site is an outstanding example of grape cultivation and wine production as it has developed since the High Middle Ages.
