Burgundy, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de nuits (part 1)

Raised during the great tectonic movements that gave birth to the Alps, the numerous layers from the Jurassic period were revealed by an earthquake rupture in the Tertiary era. As a result of a common geological base that has been disrupted, soils that are very different from one another are found in very close proximity. More or less chalky and clayey, they are the heritage of very different eras. From the foothills to the top of the hillside, each parcel produces a wine with a unique history and qualities. In the Côte de Nuits, formed 175 million years ago, as in the Côte de Beaune, a little younger than 25 million years ago, an agglomeration of scree has created rendzines (shallow soils resulting from the decomposition of the limestone parent rock) and brown limestone soils. The roots of the vines sometimes reach up to ten metres, to draw the energy that gives so much character to the wines you taste.
