Bedrock
- 87%Old river terraces, gravel and sand ouderdom onbepaald (kaart geeft geen ouderdom); waarschijnlijk Kwartair
- 13%Modern alluvium of the rivers 0.012–0 million years
In the glass. Old alluvium says little about style in itself. Where these terraces carry vines it is usually a matter of flat, more spacious positions, and yield, vine age and the amount of fine material between the pebbles are more decisive than the rock.
Gravel, cobbles and coarse sand deposited by a river, probably in the Quaternary, although the map does not fix the age; the material was then left in place as the river cut deeper. The material comes from higher up, so the composition follows the catchment: pebbles of granite and quartz for a river from the massif, limestone for a river from the plateau. It is therefore by definition a mixture.
For the vine. Gravel and coarse sand drain excellently and warm up quickly, so the soil reaches temperature early in spring. The downside is a small moisture reserve; only where silt or clay sits between the stones does such a soil last out a dry summer. The roots go deep if the terrace layer is thick, and lime usually plays no part, unless the cobbles themselves consist of limestone.
Mainly on the low terraces towards the Saône, below the slopes of the Mâconnais and in the low foreland of the Beaujolais.
BRGM geological map at 1:50,000. It tells vineyards apart, not plots within a vineyard. The link between rock and taste is indirect: soil depth, water and warmth do the work, and slope, vine age and the cellar do the rest. Units on that map: F, Fz.

Computed from the IGN elevation model at 5 m: horizon in 36 directions up to six kilometres, sun position per minute, angle of incidence on the mean slope. Clear sky, with the tree canopy from the IGN forest inventory as a raised horizon (15 m closed forest, 5 m heath, trees within 60 m ignored), 30% of the far field is forest (BD Forêt), no buildings.

The name
- champ
- field, from Latin campus. The third most common element in this atlas and usually descriptive: open arable land, often predating the vines. Work and use · Terroirium, Eigen telling over de namen in deze atlas (2026)
- pont
- bridge. Shape and position · Gérard Taverdet, Noms de lieux de Bourgogne (2007)
This is about the words, not about this plot: the same name can have arisen differently elsewhere.
Who owns land here
No parcel here is registered to a legal entity. In France only those owners are public; parcels of private individuals are not.

Where each figure comes from
- Classification
- The INAO delimitation per denomination, cut against the cadastral parcel. Only the INAO's own plans are legally binding; this map is informational.
- Area
- Computed on the sphere from longitude and latitude (turf.area), not in Lambert-93. For an appellation this is the union of the INAO polygons across commune boundaries, measured on the unclosed geometry; the fifteen metres used to close the outline for the map are not counted. For a climat it is the union of the cadastral lieu-dit polygons with that name.
- Planted
- Parcel area times vineyard cover, where cover comes from the IGN vegetation layer supplemented by the agricultural declaration. Checked against the customs harvest declarations: median deviation 5.1 per cent over a hundred appellations.
- Elevation
- Mean of the elevation-model cells whose centre falls inside the polygon, on a 5 m grid.
- Slope
- Per-cell slope from the elevation model using Horn's method, then averaged over the cells in the polygon.
- Aspect
- Vector mean of the per-cell aspect. A plain average would turn north-east and north-west into south.
- Sun at harvest
- Hours of direct sun on 20 September under a clear sky, with the horizon in 36 directions out to six kilometres and the height of woods and buildings on top of it. Canopy height is measured where LiDAR HD covers the area and estimated from BD Forêt where it does not; the panel states which of the two was used.
- Grape variety by appellation
- Per appellation and colour the permitted varieties from the approved cahier des charges; per appellation and tier the declared hectares of white and red from the customs harvest declaration (product codes). One colour permitted: the main variety of that colour. Two colours: from 85 percent of the hectares that colour applies, in between it is called mixed. Champagne: the dominant variety from the planted hectares per variety per commune from FranceAgriMer. Per polygon the dominant variety of its parts by area. Derived, not measured: the variety per plot exists only in the customs vineyard register, which is not public. In a two-colour appellation a single plot may carry the other variety. Customs withhold small appellations (statistical secrecy), in which case the split is missing.
- Bedrock
- The geological unit covering the largest share of the polygon, from the 1:50,000 geological map. At 1:50,000 the map separates one climat from another, but not what varies inside a climat.
- Organic
- Share of the area certified organic or in conversion, from the CartoBio plot register.
