8.   Description of the link(s)

(a)   Description of the natural factors relevant to the link

The geographical area is situated in the Côte de Nuits winegrowing area and is a straight-sided elevation which extends some 25 kilometres in a roughly north/south direction. This elevation of tectonic origin separates the limestone plateaux of the ‘Hautes Côtes’ to the west, at an altitude of between 400 and 500 metres, from the Bresse plain to the east, a Tertiary graben at an altitude of around 250 metres, at right angles to the ‘Côte’ (slope). The area extends over the territory of the municipalities of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey, located between the cities of Dijon, to the north, and Beaune in the department of Côte-d’Or, in Burgundy. In ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’, the brow of the ‘Côte’, at a height of some 150 metres, is made up of layers of Bajocian and Bathonian limestone (Middle Jurassic), the backbone of which is formed of the especially compact Comblanchien limestone. A layer of Bajocian marl (argillaceous limestone) is interposed within the limestone layers in the lower part of the slope, visible in the landscape as a slight level. The landscape is interrupted by an enclosed valley, draining the hinterland, through which a stream occasionally flows, the Meuzin. At its end is a large alluvial fan, occupied in part by the municipality of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The limestone substrate of the valley sides is often covered by layers of scree formed of a mix of clay and loam resulting from the alteration of the subsoil and areas of elevation. The nature of these layers depends on their position on the slope. On the upper slope, they are very stony and sparse. On the foothills, the layers contain more fine particles and are denser, ranging from the low tens of centimetres up to one metre. A characteristic formation appears on the upper slope: a layer of cryoclastic gravel on top of the hard limestone. Formed during the glaciations of the Quaternary, this gravel has excellent drainage qualities and is low in fertility. The alluvial fan of the Meuzin is composed of well-drained and gravelly alluvial limestone formations. The parcels demarcated for the grape harvest are located on the brow of the ‘Côte’, on either side of the Meuzin valley, where surface soils are sufficiently developed to allow root penetration and proper drainage, and also on the upper part of the alluvial fan. The soils are poorly developed and generally carbonate, shallow and well-drained, particularly in the limestone substrate. The soils are arranged into toposequences, ranging from poor and very calcareous soils on the upper slope, to clay-enriched soils further down, to relatively deep soils (0,50 m), leached on the surface, on the foothill sections and the alluvial fan. The climate is maritime and cool, disrupted by continental and southern influences passing through the Rhône-Saône corridors. The maritime character of the region is evident in the regular moderate rainfall, around 750 millimetres per year, without significant summer droughts. Temperatures are quite cool with an annual average of 10,5 degrees centigrade. The ‘Côte’ is located to the east of the Morvan massif and the Burgundy plateaux. Its sheltered position gives it a thermal advantage, as well as notably low rainfall for the region.

(b)   Description of the human factors relevant to the link

The municipality of Nuits-Saint-Georges in a historic viticultural centre. Like its neighbour Beaune, it is situated at the heart of the ‘Côte’ vineyards. It appears to have been very active in viticulture since the High Middle Ages Some of the municipality’s ‘crus’ have been famous for many centuries. According to Danguy and Aubertin in their work of 1892, the ‘Saint-Georges’ vineyards have existed since the year 1000. Since the 15th century, wines called ‘Beaune’, actually produced throughout the ‘Côte’, have been sold across Europe. They were the ‘brand image’ of the Duchy of Burgundy at its peak. These heady, low-tannin red wines, known as ‘pinots vermeils’ [vermilion pinots], were the only wines suitable for transporting. The 18th century saw the rise of merchant-producers in the region, giving ‘Bourgogne’ wines a new identity and establishing their widespread distribution across Europe. In this period, in the municipality of Nuits, the merchant houses were formed that would shape the viticultural history of the region. Nuits then became established as the second centre of the wine trade of Burgundy, on the slopes of Beaune. The ‘Côte’ supplied ‘fine wines’ to the merchant houses, which held a large share of the market. In 1892, as the sign of a well-established image of excellence, the municipality of Nuits added the name of its most prestigious ‘cru’ to its own name, becoming Nuits-Saint-Georges. In 1934, the geographical limits of the designation of origin ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ were established by a ruling of the civil court of Beaune. Based on that ruling, the then controlled designation of origin ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ was recognised by an order of 11 September 1936. Vineyards and the factors contributing to their quality have been widely studied since the 18th century, with many authors drawing up classifications for Burgundy ‘crus’. This work culminated in 1860 with the classification produced by the Viticulture Committee of Beaune County. For each municipality examined, each ‘climat’ [vineyard] (usually the name of a ‘lieu-dit’ [plot]) planted with an ‘elegant variety’ was classified on a quality scale. In 1943, a list of ‘climats’ eligible to use the term ‘premier cru’ was recognised for Nuits-Saint-George. These were the most highly regarded ‘crus’ identified in the main in 1860. Pinot Noir N is the main grape variety grown in the vineyards. However, Chardonnay B is also present but represents only 2 % of the grapes grown, principally clustered in the area of Premeaux-Prissey. The vines are trained in line with current practices throughout the ‘Côte’ region, notably with planting densities of more than 9 000 plants per hectare. Producers are aware of the vulnerability of their soils to erosion and take great care to preserve the soil integrity. By tradition, the wines are matured in the winery, which gives them good keeping qualities, depending on the characteristics of both the vintage and the ‘climat’. In 2009, the vineyards covered an area of approximately 300 hectares, of which 148 were classified as ‘premier cru’. The average annual production volume was 13 400 hectolitres. White wine production represents only about 300 hectolitres from 6 hectares. Around two thirds of the wines are sold by the producers..

(c)   Information on the quality and characteristics of the product

The red wines are characterised by an intense luminous purple colour. When young, they generally express notes of cherry, strawberry and blackcurrent. As they mature, they acquire a refined sensual roundedness, much like the producers who make them. Leather, truffle, fur and game often supplement their aromas. Wines bearing the term ‘premier cru’ are characterised by their power and massive tannic structure. They develop over a long period in the bottle and are capable of great ageing. The white wines are balanced and generous, characterised by great elegance.

(d)   Causal interactions

The municipality of Nuits-Saint Georges, located at the heart of the Côte de Nuits vineyards, is entirely devoted to the business of fine wines of Burgundy. It combines its status as the capital of the Côte de Nuits with the prestige of its vineyards. These vineyards stretch across a broad, east-facing slope and its foothills. This landscape gives rise to abundant light and early warming of the soils. Morning mists are frequent on the plain, but do not reach the higher areas. The mainly limestone substrate of the slope and the substrate of its foothills, provide effective drainage and moderate soil fertility. This arrangement offers a prime site where the Pinot Noir N variety, a local variety, can fully express its potential. This warm meso-climate and moderate soil fertility endow the red wines with balance and concentration that are evident in the length of the complex and developing range of aromas. Chardonnay B also originates in Burgundy and is at home in certain locations with more marly soils. Maturation preserves enough of the acidity to confer elegance and longevity on the white wines. Producers aim to highlight the specific characteristics of the natural environment of ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ and their practices, both in the vineyard and in the winery, are intended to bring out this potential. High-density planting, yield control, careful harvesting: these are supplemented by traditional vinification techniques and long maturation in the winery. The terrain, the geological diversity and the variety of soils that have developed also produce a wide array of nuances in the wines, which have long encouraged generations of producers to differentiate between the ‘climats’ making up the winegrowing area. Labels on bottles stating the name of the ‘climat’ from which the grapes originated was a common practice. In addition, the term ‘premier cru’ made it possible to give prominence to the most famous ‘climats’, which were often known since ancient times. In 1816, Jullien mentioned the ‘lieu-dit’ of ‘Saint-Georges’, in the municipality of Nuits-Saint-George, along with ‘Clos de Premeau’ as first class, and the rest of the vineyards in the two municipalities as second class. In 1860, the Beaune District Winegrowing Committee classified around 300 hectares as ‘fine wine vineyards’, in the two municipalities, of which 100,53 hectares were rated ‘first class’. This classification would guide the future recognition of climats as ‘premier cru’. In 1934, a period of significant economic troubles for Burgundy, some producers from Nuits came together to create the ‘Confrérie des chevaliers du tastevin’ [Fraternity of the knights of the tasting cup]. This association, prototype of wine-related fraternities, aimed to promote and spread the wines of Burgundy throughout the world. It now has its headquarters outside the city, in Château du Clos de Vougeot. The fraternity has successfully contributed to perpetuating the prestigious image of the wines of Burgundy, and the wines of ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ have benefitted from their efforts. The wines of ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ are known from the depths of the oceans all the way to the moon! Indeed, in 1971, the Apollo 15 mission placed a ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ label, of the ‘Terre-Lune’ cuvée and named one of the lunar craters ‘Crater Saint-Georges’. The ‘Nuits-Saint-Georges’ protected designation of origin is also the godmother of the nuclear submarine ‘Le Rubis’. The reputation of the red wines of ‘Nuits-Saints-Georges’ is international.
