The vineyards of the Burgundy Climats are the birthplace and living archetype of terroir vineyards with the particularity of closely associating the gustatory quality of their production with the parcel from which it originates. The Climats represent human interaction with a specific natural environment influenced by the urban poles of Dijon and Beaune. Thus the geosystem of the Climats remains stable and homogeneous, and the territorial dynamics between the three structural elements (the parcels, Dijon and Beaune) remain operative. AuthenticityLiving witness of a specific natural environment which has been valorised by a stable human community, the Burgundy Climats’ authenticity is reflected in the permanence and liveliness of the millennial vine- and wine culture vocation. It engages them to cooperate for the governance of the property, which is ensured by the Mission of Burgundy Climats.
