Vineyard Parcel


The elementary land unit of the vineyard, smaller than the climat, on which Burgundian precision viticulture rests. By fragmenting a single cru among many parcels and owners, Burgundy multiplies the differing expressions of one shared terroir. Knowledge of the parcel of origin guides the sommelier in selecting the finest and most precise cuvées.
