Additional Information
What is a “terroir”? What is a “climat”? Why do two vines, a few tens of meters apart, produce two wines that are so different? What is the relationship between wine and the soil from which it comes? Why do the “grands crus” of Burgundy always grow on gentle slopes facing east? Why are more and more Burgundy winegrowers returning to “good practices”? Faced with the globalized offensive of technical, varietal or branded wines, do the Climats de Bourgogne constitute a heavy heritage or a remarkable cultural exception?
At a time when the Burgundy of great wines is fighting to obtain the classification of its Climats as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, Jacky Rigaud, renowned specialist in Burgundy wines and unparalleled taster, answers all these questions. With clarity and with passion.
