We have tasted Bourgogne red wines this time from Vosne-Romanee to Corton, and to Maranges, with clima focused on geological characters. Between Hills from Dijon and the slopes of the Maranges, the cote de Nuits and cote de Beaune cover 56km but very nallow, along with the diverse subsoils that composed of many different strata, such as Cote de Nuits soils dating to the mid-Jurassic (175 million years ago) and Cote de Beaune soils dating to the Upper Jurassic (150 million years ago). The Pinot noir loves well-drained marl and limestone soils, and reflects variations of the terroir on which it is planted.
