Thank you for a very good and informative site on my favourite wine region. Looking through your very good maps, I can’t help thinking that the map of Gevery-Chambertine must have some sort of mix-up in the colour coding. Generic Gevrey and Grand Cru must have been mixed up.

Kind regards,

Øyvind,

Addendum to my latest post : another useful resource : Maison Bouchard Père et Fils has designed a nice Google Earth map of their numerous properties, to be used at http://www.bouchard-pereetfils.com/google/domaine_fr.php.
Since they’ve identified their own vineyards (mostly in Côte de Beaune of course), it’s a good way of having a 3-D vision, for instance, of the Corton hill and their own Corton vineyard.
In the same range of 3D animation, La Chablisienne has also, for Chablis, a nice and short movie to be seen on their website. It is commercially oriented but that allows viewers to get a good glimpse of the Chablis subtleties regarding Northern orientations, for instance !

Now that’s cool! The IGN vineyard labels are not always in the correct place, but very cool indeed!

Thanks Florence!

Hello,
Another useful resource : http://www.geoportail.fr. Type in for instance “vosne-romanée”, and then chhose among different “couches” (layers) :
- “IGN” is a helpful one if you want to plan a bike ride in the vineyards, or check the altitudes, or the name of a river, etc.
- “geologie” is based on a larger scale, but quite useful as well, for instance if you’re pervert enough to check whether this Chablis is on kimmeridigian, or portlandian (as it should NOT be).
- “Cassini layer” is fun too since it provides maps from the XVIIIth or XIXth century.
- “cadastre” is : who owns what ? No name given online but you see the size of the properties.
Personnaly, I find it interesting to combine IGN + cadastre in order to check the real exposition of a terroir.
it’s free, enjoy !

There is a selection of maps as PDFs on the Official ‘Burgundy Wines’ website which I find useful- although still no Premeaux that I can see, Volnay is available.

The title page can be found here:

I will have to disable the comments here if everybody wants to keep telling me about the mistakes on maps that I already said have mistakes in
[the maps are somebody-else's copyright...]

About : Gevrey-Chambertin map

Legend is wrong :
Gevrey-Chambertin Grand cru must be Gevrey-Chambertin

Gevrey-Chambertin must be Gevrey-Chambertin Grand-Cru

[...] these pages, the ‘Map Resource‘ is one of most people’s favourite stopping-off points. It’s far from perfect [...]

You’re not missing anything Antoine, the provider of my maps simply didn’t have one for Premeaux – indicating they didn’t have a lot of wines from that village

Where is Premeaux? A significant amount of Nuits St georges seem to be missing (clos de la Marechale…) or have I missed something?

Hi Cristina,
Hope you’re well. Yep, lots and lots of mistakes/errors on the maps I’m afraid – that’s what you get for ‘cheap’ – or in this case free!

Hello Bill,

Did you notice that the colours of the maps do not correspond to the legend?
I wanted to use some of the maps but I have to copy them into paint and repaint them.

Cheers,

Cristina

Bill,

I have one word: Volnay! Why is it that Kobrand and indeed most other resources have no map of this wonderful village? There is one at http://www.bivb.com, but it isn’t very detailed…
