"The climates are precisely delimited vineyard parcels on the
slopes of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune south of the city of
Dijon. They differ from one another due to specific natural conditions
(geology and exposure) as well as vine types and have been shaped by
human cultivation. Over time they came to be recognized by the wine they
produce. This cultural landscape consists of two parts. Firstly, the
vineyards and associated production units including villages and the
town of Beaune, which together represent the commercial dimension of the
production system. The second part includes the historic centre of
Dijon, which embodies the political regulatory impetus that gave birth
to the climatssystem. The site is an outstanding example of grape cultivation and wine production developed since the High Middle Ages." -http://whc.unesco.org
Thank you so much Catherine for sharing this awesome postcard with me!
I wish to see a vineyard someday... :)
