Bourgogne: A thousand-year-old cultural heritage

Bourgogne has been known throughout the world for its history, its heritage, its vineyards and its wines. It is indeed the birthplace of a great viticultural model; it is the archetype of terroir-based vineyards and is constantly searching to achieve results that are embodied in the “Climats”. Nowhere else in the world have people sought to link wine production to its place of origin in such a precise and intimate manner, and this has been the case for centuries. This explains why the "Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne", within the zone from “Dijon” to “Maranges”, were registered in 2015 as a Unesco World Heritage Site, in recognition of their universal value.
