Climats, terroirs of Burgundy, Wine cultivation terroir in Burgundy, France

The Climats encompass 1,247 individual vineyard plots across Burgundy, each characterized by specific geological conditions and distinct grape growing environments.

The development of vineyard parcels began during the Roman era and expanded significantly when Cistercian monks established systematic cultivation methods in the 11th century.

The region maintains traditional wine production methods through dedicated plots known as climats, which influence the specific characteristics of Burgundy wines.

Visitors can explore the vineyards through guided tours that start from Dijon or Beaune, with opportunities to learn about wine production techniques.

Each climat maintains its own name and geographical boundary, marked by stone walls and paths that date back to 1938.
