Burgundy benefits from several factors favorable to wine growing. It is exposed to a semi-continental climate. Its sunshine and high temperatures in summer favor the maturation of the grapes. Its subsoil, made up of marl and limestone of Jurassic maritime origin, provides the nutrients essential to the roots of the vines. Finally, the vineyard plots reaching an altitude of 200 to 500 meters allow a resistance to frost and a natural protection against winds.
