In 1930, my Burgundy almanac tells me, the civil court in Dijon ruled that for the purposes of naming wine, vinyards in the departments of the Yvonne, the Cote d’Or, Saone and Loire and the Rhone (the arrondisements of Villefranche-sur-Saone and Beauujolais, could use the name. It has remained thus since.
Ancient verities – so often they aren’t…
