Not a borehole: ordered by age, thickness by share of surface.
In the glass. In practice it is mainly associated with white wine: broader and fuller than on hard limestone, and often described as slower to open up, although that depends at least as much on yield and vinification. The link runs through soil depth and water supply, not directly from rock to taste.
White marls and marly limestones from the Middle Oxfordian, referred to in the older French literature and on the geological map as faciès argovien. They were laid down on a quiet, relatively deep carbonate seabed where lime mud mixed with clay carried in from the land, roughly 159.5 to 157.5 million years ago. In the ground they are pale, crumbly layers that stick in rain and break up into flakes in drought, alternating with thin, harder limestone beds.
For the vine. Marl holds water, and that is the key property here: in a dry summer there is reserve in the subsoil and the roots can penetrate to considerable depth as long as the layer is not compacted. The downside is that the ground stays cold and heavy in spring and is hard to work after rain, so these marls almost always need slope and good drainage to perform as vineyard soil. The active lime content is high, so chlorosis is a real risk and the choice of rootstock matters.
Characteristic of the slopes around Chagny, Rully and Bouzeron, and of the upper slopes of the Corton hill where Corton-Charlemagne stands.
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: j5b, j4a, j5.

Grey: sun up, behind the hill or its own slope.
Around harvest the sun rises here at 08:00 above the hill and disappears at 17:42 behind the hill: 9.7 hours of direct sun on a clear day. The ridge reaches 20.3° above the horizon to the west-southwest. The relief costs 0.9% of the irradiation from April to October, direct and diffuse together.

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), 47% of the far field is forest (BD Forêt), no buildings.
The irradiation loss does include clouds: the average of 2005 to 2023 (PVGIS-SARAH3, EU JRC), not any particular year.

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.
