Burgundy wine map

Nowhere else does a single hillside split into so many famous names. This Burgundy wine map lays out the whole narrow strip, from Chablis to the Mâconnais, drawn to scale so the climats line up in your head the way they do on the slope.

It is the map we reach for when a single village like Gevrey-Chambertin turns out to hold dozens of named plots, each with its own price and reputation. Terroir obsession in its purest form.

Every Burgundy sub-region, north to south

Burgundy is really a chain of vineyards strung along one long slope, and the map follows it from top to bottom:

• Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois: steely Chardonnay on Kimmeridgian limestone, from Petit Chablis up to Grand Cru
• Côte de Nuits: the heart of great red Burgundy, with Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges
• Côte de Beaune: Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Volnay for the reds, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet for the whites
• Côte Chalonnaise: Mercurey, Givry, Rully, Montagny and Bouzeron, the home of Aligoté
• Mâconnais: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon-Villages, where Chardonnay turns rounder and sunnier
• Beaujolais sits just to the south, Gamay country, often shown alongside

The Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune together make up the Côte d’Or, the golden slope at the centre of it all.

What’s actually on the map

This is a reference piece, not just décor. It carries:

• The five sub-regions, outlined and colour-coded from Chablis to the Mâconnais
• The villages and their climats, the named vineyard plots that are UNESCO World Heritage and the whole point of Burgundy
• The appellation hierarchy, from Régionale (Bourgogne) up through Village and Premier Cru to the 33 Grands Crus like Chambertin, Musigny, Richebourg, Corton-Charlemagne, Le Montrachet and the legendary Romanée-Conti in Vosne-Romanée
• The grapes: Pinot Noir for the reds, Chardonnay for the whites, plus Aligoté, and Gamay down in Beaujolais
• The slope and its limestone, because in Burgundy a few metres of elevation can move a wine up a whole tier

Printed to last

We print on 200 gsm uncoated matte, archival paper with a soft, premium feel and no glare under a lamp. The inks are giclée-quality and fade-resistant, so it still looks right years from now. It arrives rolled, ready for any standard 50 x 70 cm frame.

Every map is printed on demand and shipped from the production facility nearest you, so nothing sits in a warehouse and shipping stays short.

Made for the room where you actually drink wine

It looks at home above the dining table, in the kitchen, along a hallway, or over the rack in a wine cellar. The labelling is French, the way Burgundy names its own climats, which is part of the charm.

If you are still learning the slope by heart, our conversation with Philippe Pacalet on discovering Burgundy is a fine companion, as is our tour of the main wine regions of the world.
