The Climats of Official Candidate for France for World Heritage List inscription

Terroirs steeped in history, devoted to excellence

Treasures for humanity THE CLIMATS in a few words

In Burgundy, when we speak of a Climat, we do not look up to the sky, we keep our eyes to the ground." Bernard Pivot, writer, Membre de l’Institut, President of the Support Committee

What exactly is a "Climat" in Burgundy? In Burgundy, the word "Climat" refers to a named, specific vineyard site, a parcel or plot of land whose limits have been determined over several centuries. More than 1,247 Climats spread over the region from Dijon to the south of Beaune, shaping the landscape like a mosaic. Each of them has its own history, produces wines with a distinct character and taste and keeps its own place in the hierarchy of the Burgundy crus; some have illustrious names like Chambertin, Romanée-Conti, de Vougeot, Montrachet, , Musigny...

Why are the Climats unique? Nowhere else in the world has man shown such determination to so precisely link a wine production to its place of origin. The result is an extremely fragmented vineyard system, supported by a solid winemaking expertise that is committed to excellence. Its remarkable landscapes include towns with an exceptional architectural heritage like Dijon and Beaune, all of which combine to form a very special type of economy and culture.

What exactly do we hope to have inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List? The listing application is not limited to the vineyards themselves. Our objective is to obtain official recognition of the history and culture of an emblematic territory. The Climats represent a unique and exceptional model of - based viticulture, which is an inspiration for winemakers across the world. They make up a unique cultural site, shaped by 2000 years of history, and characterized by an outstanding architectural heritage (including the , the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, the Château du Clos de Vougeot...). World Heritage listing of the Climats of Burgundy would ensure their protection for generations to come, and worldwide recognition of their unique quality.

Listing in 2015? The Climats of Burgundy’s application dossier was approved by the French government in January 2014 and was submitted to UNESCO’s World Heritage Center under the "cultural site" category. The final decision concerning listing will be made by the 21 members of the World Heritage Committee on the occasion of its 39th session, which will be held during the summer of 2015 in Bonn, Germany.

Who is piloting the project? Since 2007, an Association has been bringing together and coordinating the efforts of all the local stakeholders (elected representatives of the regional authorities and wine-sector professionals) to sponsor the application. Its president is Aubert de Villaine, producer and co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The Association, supported by a scientific committee, is part of the "Mission Climats", a management body designed to protect, share and pass on this common heritage.

Unprecedented mobilization throughout the region Over 60,000 individuals have already shown their support for the project! Members of the public, wine producers, entrepreneurs, volunteers, etc..The commitment and support of each and every one of us is essential in order to send a strong message to UNESCO: that of a collective willingness and desire for lasting recognition for an entire territory’s unique heritage. Everyone can contribute. Find out more on: www.climats-bourgogne.com SUMMARY

2 EDITORIAL On our way to World Heritage with pride

There are many sites and monuments which the international community considers so valuable for its collective heritage that their disappearance or deterioration would constitute a loss to civilisation. In World Heritage language, these sites have "Outstanding Universal Value" (OUV). We strongly believe that the territory which comprises the Côte de Beaune, the Côte de Nuits and the towns of Beaune and Dijon, rightfully deserves a place on the distinguished World Heritage List, because it too possesses and embodies Outstanding Universal Value.

This value is expressed through the Burgundian concept of terroir, the Climat. A Climat is a plot of vines, each with its own unique identity and a name often dating back centuries. An identity which is partly cultural, developed over some 2,000 years, and partly natural, on account of its soil and subsoil types, as well as its specific weather conditions, especially its micro-climate.

The Climat is an excellent example of man and nature working hand in hand, of natural and human excellence finding expression in a centuries-old setting; an example which has proved so successful that the Burgundy vineyards are regarded all over the world as the very model of terroir-based viticulture, its cradle and its archetype.

The Climats and their viticulture, specific to Burgundy, have given rise to a local culture and an economy, both of which have shaped the environment in which we live – an environment that is more vibrant today than ever before. Not only do the Climats continue to produce wines acclaimed the world over, they also form a remarkable natural landscape. The mosaic created by the Climats, along with the architectural heritage found within the surrounding vineyards and villages, and in the towns of Beaune and Dijon, are united by their common use of local limestone.

Ensuring that our unique territory establishes its place on the World Heritage List now seems essential, for two main reasons: firstly, to demonstrate to the world the exceptional mission that has befallen the Burgundy region, and secondly, to create an awareness, within Burgundy and abroad, of the value and unique quality of this marvelous heritage; one that must be guarded and protected, if it is to survive.

We are proud to say that what we produce here is far more than just wine and that our region has so much more to offer besides its landscape. Our long and rich history and our distinctive culture combine in this small territory to create an exceptional and unique cultural site.

It is this model and this cultural site that we are therefore presenting for inclusion on the World Heritage List.

THE CLIMATS: a unique cultural site shaped by two thousand years of human

Preserving and protecting our culture Vines have been cultivated in the Burgundy region for two thousand years; this was recently demonstrated by the discovery of traces of a Gallo-Roman vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin dating back to the 1st century AD.

The development of this unique plot system is the result of centuries of human labour. It is also an intrinsic part of the history of the religious and political institutions which have successively drawn up regulatory edicts aimed at protecting the vineyards and contributing to the reputation of the wines they produce. Moreover, establishing and sustaining the Climats was intimately linked to the influence across Europe of the Burgundian abbeys of Cluny (founded in 910) and Cîteaux (founded in 1098). Subsequently, it was the powerful dynasty of the Valois Dukes of Burgundy, established in Dijon, whose sovereignty extended as far as the Netherlands, who were then able to ensure that the economic and cultural influence of the vineyards was felt over a large part of Europe.

The identity of the Climats and their wines, having been protected and promoted over the centuries by the religious orders, the political power of the Dukes and the bourgeoisie and finally the merchants and independent producers, became set in stone following the adoption of the decree of the Appellations d’Origines Contrôlées (AOC) in 1936.

All these constituencies have contributed to the exemplary construction of this unique territory.

THE CLIMATS: a model of terroir-based viticulture of worldwide influence

Burgundy’s Côte is the only vineyard in the world to have constantly privileged and protected the identity of its Climats. Climats only exist in Burgundy!

Nowhere in the world has man shown such determination to so precisely link a wine production to its place of origin.

Each of the 1,247 Climats has its own history and each one gives its wines their distinct character and place in the hierarchy of Burgundy crus.The Climats were painstakingly developed over time through human ingenuity, working in harmony with an exceptional and diversified natural environment. This has resulted in a chiseling out of the territory which itself reflects the fact that two Climats situated just a few metres apart, within the same appellation may produce two entirely different wines. Protected over the centuries, the identity of the Climats and the crus they produce was formally recognised in 1936 under the AOC system.

As the very model of terroir-based viticulture, the Climats are exceptional; they stand out among the vineyards of the world as a benchmark for other wine-growing regions (for example Central Otago in New Zealand and Oregon in the USA, etc.).

In defining Central Otago’s own viticultural path forward, it has been, and will continue to be, essential to look towards the classic model of Burgundy and its Climats for inspiration and guidance.”

The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin

A Quintessential Terrain ... At the very beginning, more than 30 million years ago, the land was shaped by a geological fault. This breach in the plateau, which extended from Burgundy to the Jura, forced ancient layers of limestone and clay (dating back 160 million years) to the surface. This phenomenon created the special contours of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, including the south-eastern facing escarpment. Other satellite faults would later form a mosaic of diversified soils.

… Human ingenuity Throughout the centuries, generations of winegrowers have undeavoured to uncover and identify the potential of the Côte’s terroirs, using single grape varietal (Pinot noir for red wines and for white wines), while implementing legislation in favor of quality production over productivity.

Living tradition and know-how The Climats of Burgundy constitute a vibrant repository of unique expertise and traditional events and celebrations that have been passed down over the centuries. Throughout the seasons, these punctuate the life of the wine-growing community.

7 THE CLIMATS: An exceptional architectural heritage intrinsically linked to wine-growing

The rich history of the Climats is expressed in the rural and monumental architectural heritage spread over the vineyards, villages and towns.

Burgundy’s limestone is ever-present as a watermark over the Climats. Indeed it is the foundation upon which this cultural site was built. Limestone is not only the natural bedrock of the Climats, it has also been quarried over the centuries to build walls and cabotes (stone huts), cellars, wineries, winegrowers’ houses, churches and hospices, palaces and castles. Across the landscape, these limestone buildings form diverse landmarks tracing the Burgundian history and evidencing the winegrowers expertise and know-how. They have been built, protected and painstakingly maintained over many centuries.

Cabote (stone hut) Limestone is what links the vineyards of the Climats to their architectural heritage.

A VITICULTURAL, SPIRITUAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE

The Cistercian monks, and in turn the Dukes of Burgundy, left their mark on architecture and art in the towns and villages. From Beaune to Dijon – the region’s economic, political and cultural centers – successive decision makers have played an essential role in the construction of the Climats. Emblematic buildings remain today to tell the story: among others, the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy in Dijon, the tombs of the Dukes in Dijon, the Hospices de Beaune or the Château du Clos de Vougeot.

To be included on the World Heritage List, the candidate site must demonstrate its "Outstanding Universal Value" (OUV). In other words, it must prove that it can be regarded as such an important cultural site that its influence transcends national borders, spans generations and therefore 12 deserves recognition on an international level. Nomination criteria

The Climats of Burgundy are being proposed for inscription on the World Heritage List as a cultural site, understood as being: "the combined works of nature and man, and areas including archaeological sites which are of Outstanding Universal Value from the historic, aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological point of view". Article 1, paragraph 3 of the World Heritage Convention

To feature on the World Heritage List, a property must meet at least one of the ten selection criteria defined by UNESCO. The Climats’ application dossier meets the following two criteria:

The Climats form a geo-system based on plots that, with the historic CRITERION III towns of Dijon and Beaune and the villages of the Burgundy vineyards, (No.3) constitute an outstanding example of a wine-growing site whose An exceptional activity is based on the transmission of cultural and oenological testimony of a living practices developed and refined by generations of winemakers for cultural tradition. nearly two millennia. The specificity and authenticity of the Climats are based on and are defined by these practices. For more than ten centuries, there has been an accumulation of sources, both scientific (mapping) and technical (oenology), recording the know- how relating to the cultivation of vines in Burgundy. This has made it possible to gradually establish a hierarchy of places and wines (regional appellations, Village, Premier , Grand cru), whose final form was used, in 1936, for the creation of the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) (registered Designation of Origin).

The site proposed for inclusion on the World Heritage List comprises a central zone, which constitutes the core of the property’s Outstanding Universal Value, and a buffer zone or surrounding landscape setting.

The boundaries of the central and buffer zones have been defined by the scientific committee and the relevant French Ministries, in accordance with the recommendations set out by UNESCO. They also reflect the property management requirements designed to enhance and protect the Climats’ Outstanding Universal Value according to geomorphological, physical and cultural criteria.

The property extends over 60 km, and includes 5 inter- municipalities, 2 departments (counties) and over 140 towns and villages.

Lyon PASSING ON Signature de la Charte territoriale. & PROTECTING A territory where commitment

Setting up an Association to support the project

The Association for the inscription of the Climats of Burgundy on the World Heritage List was established in 2007. The initial task of the Association was to constitute and draft the application dossier and a property management plan. The Association also coordinates events and conferences concerning the inscription application, and is responsible for informing the local population, elected representatives, professionals, the younger generation, the media and the international community about the application, with a view to mobilizing public support.

Signing of a Charter contributing to the sustainable development of the territory

On April 8th, 2011, fifty-three elected representatives of the State, the local authorities and professional organisations, solemnly signed the Charte Territoriale (Territorial Charter) of the Climats of Burgundy, at the Château du Clos de Vougeot.

Developed after three years of cooperation by several technical management committees, the Charter is a declaration of the collective commitment of all the stakeholders in the territory of the Climats of Burgundy to preserve the Outstanding Universal Value of the cultural site.

Among the many commitments laid down in the Charter, the following are particularly significant: • extending the territory’s regulatory protection measures; • identifying and listing the architectural, urban and landscape heritage on the territory; • regulating the flow of tourists visiting the vineyards; • creating a visitors information Center for the Climats of Burgundy; • mobilizing the region’s business community by raising awareness to the project.

"Mission Climats de Bourgogne": a globally coordinated governance for the property

Debate, design, act: the territory’s various stakeholders have pooled their resources by setting up an organisation that combines political power and technical expertise, whose mission is to protect and manage the nominated property.

Since October 2013, the Territorial Conference, the Permanent Technical Committee and the Association for the inscription of the Climats of Burgundy on the World Heritage List have been combined under the "Mission Climats de Bourgogne", with a common objective: to implement the territorial Management Plan drawn up in the application dossier. Action plans are decided collectively and are budgeted for. The Territorial Conference is the governance body in charge of managing the property. Its operational arm is the Permanent Technical Committee. The Association, also part of the "Mission Climats de Bourgogne", coordinates awareness-raising and information-sharing activities with the general public. 16 Political and wine sector Territorial Charter representatives as co-chairs The Territorial Conference is innovatively co-chaired by the mayors of Dijon "Mission Climats de Bourgogne" and Beaune on one side and by a representative of the region’s wine- growing sector on the other.

Raising awareness of the site management challenges ahead

Technical workshops: sharing best practices Technical seminars have been organised every year since 2012. Attended by more than 200 professionals, elected representatives, experts and relevant technicians, they provide an opportunity for debate and exchange of experiences relative to the day-to-day challenges of managing the Climats of Burgundy. These meetings bring participants together on local, national and international levels to share knowledge and experience, helping all those concerned to coordinate the development and conservation of the architecture, environment, tourist industry, land use, economy and mediation of the Climats of Burgundy.

"Fonds Climats": Financing the restoration of rural heritage In 2014, the "Fonds Climats" Fund was established and immediately allocated 90, 000 euros towards the restoration of the Côte’s rural architectural heritage, including its ancient stone walls, lavoirs (wash houses), bread ovens, etc..The Fund is sponsored by the Association for the Climats of Burgundy, the Heritage Foundation (Fondation du Patrimoine), the General Council of Côte-d’Or and the Pays Beaunois. 9 projects have already benefited from funding.

At the forefront of research Burgundy is home to the latest scientific and technical research focused on wine production and oenology. Burgundy based research initiatives include the UNESCO Chair "Wine Culture and Traditions", the Jules Guyot Institute of the Vine and Wine (an experimental centre for viticulture and oenology) and the recently established Pôle Bourgogne Vigne et Vin (Burgundy Vine and Wine Centre), all located at the University of Burgundy.

18 INVOLVING FUTURE GENERATIONS The young people of Burgundy are already ambassadors for the Climats! Our children are the future of Burgundy and it is them who will be given the task to manage and protect the Climats of Burgundy in the years ahead. Since 2011, the Association works with local partners to run activities designed to involve young people. Here are some of the current projects.

Educational tools for teachers and group leaders History, geography, biology, French, Art... each of these disciplines provides an opportunity to understand and study the Climats of Burgundy. Five educational booklets have been designed for primary and secondary school levels. They have been specially adapted to the national education curriculum and approved by the DSDEN (Directorate of Departmental Services for National Education) and by the Scientific Committee. These educational resources mix theory with practical, fun activities and have been made available free of charge to pupils in 1,300 educational institutions in Burgundy.

Artists take up residence in the schools of Côte-d’Or In 2011, the General Council of Côte-d’Or launched an appeal to create multidisciplinary work projects centred on the Climats. Three middle schools have already introduced pilot schemes involving visual arts such as photography, collages and video presentations.

Museum workshops Educational workshops have been organized in the Jardin des Sciences of Dijon (Dijon Science Garden) and the Burgundy Wine Museum in Beaune. These workshops encourage pupils to learn about the different aspects of the Climats by studying biology and viticulture. They can also discover the palette of aromas and careers in the wine sector.

Games and a children’s book A multitude of activities offering a fun way for children to learn about the history, landscapes and wine farming practices of the Climats.

The challenge facing tourism in the Climats area is to make it easier for the local population to welcome visitors, meet them and share their knowledge of the property. Several mediation projects are being discussed. Some have already come to fruition.

The application for World Heritage listing has already prompted many tourist-orientated projects by bringing together tourist agencies and professionals in the region. The major focus is on developing and implementing quality certifications like labels and charters. Other objectives include improving the connections between public and private transport, creating discovery tours and encouraging sustainable tourism.

AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIES

18th, 19th and 20th February 2015: "The heritage value of terroir-based economies as model of human development" The Climats site was founded upon the notion of the exceptional quality of its terroirs. This explains why it has become a cultural site as well as a benchmark model of grape farming and winemaking. This terroir-based model is understood and shared by many countries with thriving agricultural economies. Developing and sustaining these economies could be an effective response to the current standardization and globalization of practices and taste which threatens local identification. This conference will debate the complex issue of heritage value of these economies and focus on the range of benefits they may generate. 20 > See the full programme and proceedings on: www.climats-bourgogne.com DISCUSSION, DIALOGUE AND WORLDWIDE

Ambitious international cooperation initiatives Vineyard in New Zealand

Wine, tea, coffee, rice or pepper… From one end of the planet to the other, whatever the product, whatever the economy of the territories concerned, while the terminology may change, the same concept of “terroirs” – of identifying a product with the place of its production – and the desire to preserve diversity is being expressed, bringing together, beyond borders, the people who keep them alive. The exchange programs we have launched with China, South Africa and New Zealand, based on the common notion of “terroir”, are part of an intercultural dialogue – a way to share experience and expertise.

CHINA (Province of Fujian) Dialogue between tea and win In China, a great tea is said to be born out of harmony between three great powers, those of the sky, the earth and man: in other words, a terroir, or a Climat in the Burgundian sense of the word. In Burgundy, we similarly consider that a great wine is produced from an exceptional terroir – a parcel of vines with specific subsoil and climatic characteristics called a Climat, which has benefited from a long history and ancestral expertise. In their own way, tea and wine reflect the First international meeting in France, Discovering the teas of Tie Guan spirituality of the people who produce and November 2011.

June 2013 Climats on the roc

4,500 people gathered in the Quarries of Comblanchien to understand the unique relationship between the Climats and the limestone rock of Burgundy. Limestone is the bedrock beneath the surface of the vineyardsand the raw material for the dry-stone walls and enclosures. It is used to build the cabotes (stone huts), monuments and villages… This event was an opportunity for the public to spend an afternoon and an evening discovering the versatility of this natural resource. "The Climats and I": in his own words, Aubert de Villaine, President of the Association expresses what the Climats mean to him: "Each individual, like each Climat, is unique, June 2014 "Les Climats et moi" (The Climats and I) with its own personality, its name and its history.
