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.

Joining the circle of patrons means sharing common values: respect, authenticity, conviviality and sharing.

Témoignages

"The Cité is the major project of the 20s, following on from the Climats UNESCO World Heritage site. It is in keeping with both Bourgogne history and tradition, in an ongoing quest for progress in a living, forward-looking Bourgogne."

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

"Bourgogne is a welcoming land. All these towns, from Chablis to Mâcon, will showcase the extraordinary diversity of our appellations, but will also help both the informed and neophyte public to understand our Climats."

"Maison Bouchard Père & Fils is proud to be associated with and support this great project. It will offer Bourgogne people and lovers of France's winegrowing heritage an interpretation center unique in the world on terroir-based viticulture, which is the very genius of Bourgogne."

"Through their 2,000-year history, the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne have taught us that passing on knowledge is one of the keys to understanding great wines. Today, we are proud to be able to support the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne and to have the opportunity to become one of the links in this chain of transmission, which aims to protect and perpetuate the tradition and heritage of Bourgogne wines."
