Bedrock

youngold
  • 66%Sinemurian limestone with Gryphaea 199–⁠187 million years
  • 33%Rhaetian to earliest Jurassic: sandstone, clay and shelly limestone about 208–⁠200 million years

Not a borehole: ordered by age, thickness by share of surface.

In the glass. In practice gives firm, somewhat austere wine with clear acidity. The literature on this soil in Burgundy is thin, so read this as an indication and not as a rule. (weak indication)

Hard, dark grey to blue-grey limestone beds alternating with marl, packed with the thick curved oyster Gryphaea and with ammonites, deposited in shallow and muddy seawater of the Early Jurassic. It is the first prominent ridge-forming limestone bed above the Trias; the Hettangian beneath it already yields limestone, but rarely forms a distinct ridge. The stone is less pure than the limestone of the Côte, because it contains a lot of clay.

For the vine. A limestone ridge with a shallow, stony soil on top and clay in between, well drained and quick to warm, but with little reserve on the thin parts. Where the beds are well fissured, rooting can reach further than the visible soil depth suggests; how far varies greatly from plot to plot. Active lime is present but usually lower than on pure limestone, so chlorosis is a moderate risk.

Occurs in the Côte chalonnaise and on the western edge of the Mâconnais, where the Lias protrudes above the Trias.

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

Around harvest the sun rises here at 07:27 above the flat horizon and disappears at 18:57 behind the hill: 11.5 hours of direct sun on a clear day. The ridge reaches 8.9° above the horizon to the west-southwest.

The name

perriere
quarry or stony ground, from pierre. In Burgundy usually a former quarry; at Dijon Roserot simply notes the town's old quarries. Soil and stone · Alphonse Roserot, Dictionnaire topographique du département de la Côte-d'Or (1924)

This is about the words, not about this plot: the same name can have arisen differently elsewhere.

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.
