Not a borehole: ordered by age, thickness by share of surface.
In the glass. Where this substrate is planted, the wine is generally described as firm and earthy. The spread between plots is wide and the literature is thin, so this is no more than an impression. (weak indication)
Dark grey marl and clay with limestone nodules, including the Marnes à Bélemnites, deposited in a calm sea during the Pliensbachian. Belemnites, the cigar-shaped internal skeletons of squid-like animals, lie in it by the hundreds. It is soft, plastic material that forms flat, wet lower slopes and depressions in the landscape.
For the vine. Cold, heavy, water-retaining soil that warms slowly and delays budburst, with an increased risk of late frost in low positions. In a dry summer the water reserve is precisely the great advantage, provided the plot slopes enough to shed surplus water. Active lime is limited, so chlorosis plays less of a part; controlling vigour is more important here.
Forms the wet, flat lower slopes at the foot of the Lias ridges in the Côte chalonnaise; rarely planted on its own.

Grey: sun up, behind the hill or its own slope.
Around harvest the sun rises here at 07:50 above the hill and disappears at 18:10 behind the hill: 10.3 hours of direct sun on a clear day. The ridge reaches 22.2° above the horizon to the northwest. The relief costs 0.8% 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), 37% 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.

The name
- larris
- a steep grassy slope, from Latin latus for side. Larrey near Dijon carries the same root. Relief · Association des Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne, Les noms des Climats (2026)
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.
