Le vignoble gallo-romain de Gevrey-Chambertin "Au-dessus de Bergis", Côte d'Or (Ier-IIe s. ap. J.-C.) : Modes de plantation et de conduite de vignes antiques en Bourgogne

Recent excavations at " Au-dessus de Bergis " in Gevrey-Chambertin (Burgundy, France) brought to light in 2008 and 2009 numerous, rectangular aligned pits interpreted as an ancient vineyard dated from the mid-first, mid-second century to the third century AD. The vineyard measured at least one hectare in area and was bounded to the south by a hedge or fence.

This vineyard attests to the spreading of vineyards from the mid-first century AD, as was initially supposed, and it documents some agricultural …

La pierre pour elle-même. Gestion, statut et perception d'un matériau en Bourgogne à la fin du Moyen Âge

Climats is the technical term for portions of vineyards delimited and named according to specific wine qualities. They arose from the seventeenth century onwards as a specific terroir meaning in Burgundy. However, tradition still emphasizes the medieval actors of Burgundian viti-viniculture as dukes and monks as the determinants for the emergence of climats. Therefore it is worth exploring medieval history to decipher the relationship linking wine to place in the Middle Ages : for instance, the way wines were labelled in cellars and storerooms in Dijon.
