On 4 July 2015, the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne were inscribed on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List as a "cultural landscape", i.e. "combined works of nature and humankind". The Côtes de Nuits and Beaune Climats vineyards were listed by virtue of being a model of terroir-based viticulture. The inscription also includes the cultural and heritage features marking the thousand-year history of wine-making in this area. Thus, UNESCO has recognised the culture, expertise and heritage of the wine-making villages and the historic centres of Beaune and Dijon.
Since the inscription, the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne association has aimed to protect, promote and preserve this outstanding site with awareness-raising drives and a management plan in cooperation with the State, local authorities and wine professionals.
The 10th anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage List inscription will be celebrated throughout 2025
The year will vibrate with the colours of the Climats! The 10th anniversary of the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne’s listing as a World Heritage Site will climax with a major popular event on 4 July 2025. However, a whole year of celebrations from Dijon to Les Maranges, south of Beaune, is being planned.
