List of Burgundy Grand Crus

history

The origins of Burgundy's Grand crus can be found in the work of the Cistercians who, among their vast land holdings, were able to delineate and isolate plots of land that produced wine of distinct character. H. Johnson Vintage: The Story of Wine pg 131 Simon and Schuster 1989 ISBN 0671687026 Following the French Revolution many of these vineyards were broken up and sold as smaller parcels to various owners. The partible inheritance scheme outlined in the Napoleonic code which specified that all inheritance must be equally divided among heirs further contributed to the parceling of Burgundies vineyards. This created situations such as the case of Clos Vougeot which was a single 125 acre run by the monks that today is parceled into plots owned by nearly 80 different owners, some of whom only own enough vines to make a case of wine per vintage. In accordance with Appellation d'origine contrôlée laws each of these owners are entitled to use of Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot on their label though the quality, price and reputation of this Grand cru wine can vary widely.

  2. Corton and Corton-Charlemagne straddle the boundary between Pernand-Vergelesses, Ladoix-Serrigny, and Aloxe-Corton.

  3. Charlemagne straddles the boundary between Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton, but the appellation is almost never used, as wines are usually sold as Corton-Charlemagne instead.
