It has nothing to do with the rain or nice weather in burgundy ‘climat’ are about wine. This typical burgundian term is the ultimate expression of the notion of terroir.

A ‘climat’ is a precisely delimited plot of vines that enjoys specific characteristics relating to geology, hydrology, slope and orientation. Each ‘climat’ wine is typically vinified separately and made from a single grape variety.

Each ‘climat’ shapes its Wine’s character and personality making a wine that is unique year after year.
