The Climats of Burgundy Official Candidate for France for World Heritage List Inscription The Climats of Burgundy 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, Clos de Vougeot, Montrachet, Corton, 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 terroir- 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 Hospices de Beaune, 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.

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 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.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

  • Domaine-Dujac-Clos-Saint-Denis-1970-2004-Vinous-Neal-Martin-03312020.Pdf
    DOMAINE DUJAC Clos Saint Denis 1970 - 2004 by Neal Martin March 2020 By Neal Martin | March 31, 2020 Walking back from a dinner last year, a friend asked if I was aware of the current market price for mature bottles of Domaine Dujac. “No,” I replied. All I knew was that they are beyond my budget. He whipped out his smartphone and dug up the price for a 1990 Clos de la Roche. I was gobsmacked – it was a cool £5,000 per bottle. Of course I am inured to the escalation in Burgundy prices in recent years, but even so, I found it staggering how much 750ml of Pinot Noir could cost. Then I remembered a bacchanal in Paris the previous January with a gaggle of high-rolling, wine-loving friends vowing serious damage to Tour d’Argent’s astonishing wine list. Jeremy Seysses joined us for a dinner that ranks among the greatest in my life, one where my already lofty estimation of Dujac went up a few notches. It was not Clos de la Roche that blew my mind but mature vintages of Clos Saint-Denis. I confess to an ardent passion for this vineyard, one shared by a number of winemakers, though it seems to lie unfairly in the shadow of Clos de la Roche within the context of Morey-Saint-Denis. So, when I was invited to a vertical of Dujac’s Clos Saint-Denis in London last April, there was no way I was going to miss it. This vertical tasting was organized by collector Jordi Orriols-Gil and took place at Hide restaurant in central London, with around fifteen Burgundy lovers in attendance.

  • Georges Lignier
    Georges Lignier Having been known as the U.S. importer for Hubert Lignier for over 30 years, in 2014 we expanded our connection to the Lignier name through another branch of the family. Georges Lignier is a cousin of Hubert, and while the two estates are clearly separate op- erations, they do share some of the greatest vineyards in and around Morey-Saint-Denis. The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked at the domaine for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008. When it comes to the vineyard holdings, the depth of appellations in both the Premier and Grand Crus is astounding. Overall, the domaine counts sixteen hectares encompassing 50 parcels, across 17 appellations in both white and red. Moreover, these are generally not single rows of rare plots, but substantial parcels within some of the greatest sites in the Cote d’Or. For example, the estate is the largest proprietor of the Grand Cru Clos Saint-Denis, at 1.49 hectares, and controls over a hectare of the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru. Viticulture: • Farming: Lutte Raisonnée • Treatments: No herbicide; chemical treatments when needed • Ploughing: Occasional ploughing by lightweight tractor, but only when necessary. Instead, Benoît allows grass to grow between the rows, which naturally pushes the vine’s root system deeper into the bedrock. His is the only domaine in Morey that allows grass to grow freely in the vineyard. • Soils: Limestone-clay • Vines: Average 50 years old, young vines average 15 years old, all trained in Guyot.

The regions idiosyncrasies and complexities had in the past left it isolated and reserved for the cognoscenti. With the pending release of the 2015s, it is hard to recall such excitement, interest and demand amongst global the fine wine community. Neal Martin’s scores are out and there are a splattering of ratings from Stephen Tanzer (Vinous), we still await scores from Burghound but regardless of the latter, the quality of the 2015s is without question. Neal Martin remarks ‘make no mistake, 2015 is a great vintage’, whilst Steen Ohman of WineHog proclaimed ‘ I have never tasted anything like the very best 2015s’.

  • Toppan Printing's NFC Tags for Authentication Chosen by High-End Burgundy Wine Producer
    November 16, 2018 Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. Toppan Printing’s NFC Tags for Authentication Chosen by High-end Burgundy Wine Producer Preventing fraudulent distribution and counterfeiting of high-end wines with Cachet-Tag—an NFC tag processed to ensure that the antenna circuit breaks to prevent reading when the label is removed Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.’s (hereafter Toppan Printing; head office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President & Representative Director: Shingo Kaneko) Cachet-Tag™—an NFC1 tag designed to ensure that removal breaks the antenna circuit and makes reading impossible— has been selected for use on all Grand Cru wines produced by Domaine Ponsot, a high-end wine producer based in Burgundy, France. Shipments of products using Cachet-Tag commenced in October 2018. If the Cachet-Tag is removed from the wine bottle, the NFC tag breaks and the data on it can no longer be read. This can prevent relabeling and other types of fraud and is an effective measure against counterfeit and imitation products. When scanned with an NFC-enabled smartphone, the data stored on the IC chip can be read by a dedicated app provided by Selinko SA (head office: Belgium; CEO：Patrick Eischen), a company expert in authentication, gray market detection, and marketing services for connected objects. The result of authentication is then displayed on the smartphone screen to enable easy verification. The technology can also be used as a tool to provide consumers with product-related and other information. Domaine Ponsot is a Burgundy-based producer of high-end wines. Due to the rarity and excellent reputation of its wines, Domaine Ponsot has led the high-end wine market in introducing advanced counterfeit prevention technologies in response to damage to its brand caused by counterfeit products for more than 20 years.
