The “Climats” of the Burgundy vineyard apply for the UNESCO World Heritage List

In Burgundy, the word “Climats” is the ultimate expression of the “Terroir”. In fact, it designates a plot of land with precisely defined limits, dedicated to vines, known under the same name for many centuries. Every nuance of the soil, the sub-soil, the exposure and the micro-climate forges the unique personality of the “Climat” within the vineyard and each different “cru”; it’s an exceptional heritage.
