Climat

Climat is a French term, referring to a precisely defined vineyard plot with unique geographical and climatic characteristics that influence the style and quality of the wine produced from it. The term is primarily used in the Burgundy region, where each climat has specific soil, slope, and microclimatic conditions. These plots are often small and have been recognized for their distinct terroir over centuries. Wines made from a particular climat can be labeled with the climat's name, emphasizing the connection between the land and the wine.
