Burgundy

Translation:

The "climate" of the vineyards of Burgundy is the title chosen to present our bid for World Heritage of UNESCO. The term "climate", translation of the word terroir Burgundy, acquires a different meaning here than that usually associated with weather. Especially to Burgundy, the term "climate" means a parcel of land dedicated to vines, and precisely defined, known under the same name for several centuries, and whose precise location, soil, subsoil, exposure, microclimate, history form within the vineyard characters constituting the unique personality of a land and a thought. These climates have created a mosaic of exceptional wines and world famous hierarchy.

Very nice.

There are a few errors that I spot offhand: doesn't show climats for Clos des Lambrays, Chapelle-Chambertin, or Musigny, misses the Combe d'Orveaux villagte climat of Chambolle (and in fact doesn't even indicate it on the map), fails to identify Gevrey-Issarts although the vineyard is shown, and demotes Gevrey-Combottes to village level, and makes all of Chambolle-Vroilles premier cru (only Barthod's tiny portion is premier cru), and has part of Puligny-Folatires as grand cru, while it should be village and I think misses some other village area in Folatres and Chalumeaux. But as maps of Burgundy go, only the last few are significant.

Interesting that La Truffire comes out as La Gruffire -- based on old orthography?
 
Nice. The borders are a little hard to make out and it's not quite as detailed as the Kobrand maps in some spots, but I like how each village flows from one to the next rather than having separate maps.
 
On the subject of maps, where do the ones in Coates's second book come from? They are among the best my (inexpert) eye has encountered.

do you know this off the top of your head? if so, that's pretty impressive.

If you spend enough time in Burgundy and get old enough, it happens.
