Bourgogne is the cradle of a great model of viticulture, the archetype of terroir vineyards, which has shaped its landscapes and its unique and singular culture over the centuries. The Cité has been created to promote and preserve this heritage with its strong character.

A unique project that exists thanks to the involvement of all Bourgogne lovers: local players, national and international companies, enthusiasts, living heritage lovers aspiring to a sustainable and caring tourism.

The Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne has created an endowment fund to support projects of general interest, linked to the discovery, protection and transmission of Bourgogne’s wine heritage. By supporting the endowment fund of the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne, you are making a strong and meaningful act of patronage.

Testimonies

 

"The Cité is the major project of the decade, following on from the inclusion of the Climats in UNESCO's World Heritage List. It is based both on respect for history and Burgundian tradition, with the idea of a permanent quest for progress in a living Burgundy that looks to the future."

"Crédit Agricole is present alongside the profession through numerous wine events. It supports the development of the region and the players who make up the richness of the territory and the reputation of its wines. It is with great pride that it is today the Grand Mécène of the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne. A project that makes sense and above all echoes the values that he has historically defended and shared."
