Burgundy wine map: villages, climats and appellations

A Burgundy label can name a broad appellation, a village or a particular vineyard site. Use the map to put those names in place before comparing nearby vineyards.

Read the appellation before comparing vineyards

Burgundy is commonly explained through Regional, Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru levels. Premier Cru sites belong to village appellations; Grand Cru names identify their own appellations. A similar-sounding place name does not establish the same classification.

Start with village names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, then zoom in to the mapped vineyard sites. WineGIS lets you compare their relative positions without treating a producer's address as the location of every vineyard it uses.

What does a climat mean?

In Burgundy, a climat is a named vineyard site. Locate the name, read the mapped feature's appellation and check the source rather than assuming every named plot has the same status. The map is a starting point for understanding the label, not a substitute for the appellation rules.

How to explore with WineGIS

  1. Start with the region, then zoom in to compare names and boundaries. Click a mapped feature to read its details and available sources.
  2. Switch between the base maps or use terrain tools where available. A mapped boundary, vineyard location and winery address describe different things.
  3. Add your own location markers and optional notes. They stay in your browser until you explicitly share a snapshot.

Coverage and limitations

The detailed vineyard view focuses on the coverage present in WineGIS, particularly the Côte d’Or. It is not a complete parcel inventory for all Burgundy. INAO reference boundaries, locality names and producer information have different meanings; they do not establish current ownership.
