The Grand Crus of Burgundy: Detailed atlas and characterization of the climats
This book dedicated to the grand crus of Burgundy is the culmination of more than 20 years spent in the vineyard.
In addition to the map unpublished of each of the 33 Climats grands crus, allowing the most precise link possible between these terroirs and the winegrowers who interpret them, this work is
enriched by the expertise of Françoise Vannier, geologist who has carried out the most advanced studies on the Burgundian climates.
These pages are also embellished with many numerous testimonials from winegrowers who frequent these exceptional terroirs on a day-to-day basis. So much insight that allows us to paint a portrait
as complete as it is sensitive to these Climates.
