Bedrock

  • 100%Old clayey alluvium, locally with chailles 2,58 tot circa 0,4 (Vroeg tot Midden-Pleistoceen, niet nauwkeurig gedateerd)

In the glass. In practice yields supple, early-drinking wine with less concentration. That has more to do with soil depth, fertility and flat position than with the alluvium itself. (weak indication)

Old river deposits that have not been subdivided further: clayey loam with gravel, locally with fragments of chailles, hard siliceous nodules left behind as insoluble residue from the Jurassic limestone. The deposit dates from the Pleistocene, which begins 2.58 million years ago, and lies in the plain and on old terrace remnants. It is by definition a mixture, because what it contains depends on which rocks the river cut into upstream.

For the vine. Deep, often fertile soil with a large water-holding capacity and a clayey, sometimes poorly draining subsoil. The chailles and the gravel make the profile locally stonier and better drained; they are lime-free, but they do not determine the pH of the soil, which follows from the clayey-loamy matrix, so chlorosis pressure has to be measured plot by plot. A flat position means cold air, frost risk and little natural drainage.

Lies at the foot of the Côte and in the plain towards the Saône, where mainly the regional appellations are found.

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: Fx.

Grey: sun up, but behind the hill or the vineyard's own slope.

Around harvest the sun rises here at 07:39 above the hill and disappears at 19:19 behind the hill: 11.7 hours of direct sun on a clear day. The ridge reaches 3.9° above the horizon to the west.

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), 45% of the far field is forest (BD Forêt), no buildings.

Who owns land here

0.00 ha of 2.94 ha delimited is registered to a legal entity

  • COMMUNE DE GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN<1%
  • private individuals or unknown100%

Private individuals or unknown: 2.94 ha.

Share of the delimited hectares. Only legal entities are public in France; everything else stays unnamed. From the public register of legal entities (DGFiP), as of 1 January 2025. The owner is not always the one who works the vineyard: tenancy is common.

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.
