The “Cité des Climats et des Vins de Bourgogne” is a landscape-building close to the historic city of Beaune, known for its emblematic centuries-old cellars. The building promotes history, culture, and wine heritage. Moreover, it highlights the inscription of the “Climats” of Burgundy on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
This innovative construction is inspired by the tendrils of a vine coiling around its trellis. The tendril also evokes the perpetual movement happening in vineyards: changing seasons, vines’ growth cycle, etc.
The exterior ramp, rolling up around the building is a promenade around the landscape proposing fabulous sweeping views on Burgundy.
With plantation of 400 trees around and more than 1000 vines on the rooftop, this landscape building reconstitutes a “Climat”.
The building hosts interactive exhibitions, a shop, activity rooms to learn about wine, offices, and a panoramic restaurant.
The “Cité des Climats et des Vins de Bourgogne” is a model of eco-sustainable commitment, aiming BiodiverCity label. It promotes nobles and bio-sourced materials as burgundy stone, wood, hemp concrete and clay plaster.
