The appellation system in Burgundy get confusing – whereas elsewhere in France an appellation usually covers quite a wide geographical area, in Burgundy an individual plot of land can be classified as a separate appellation.
So for example in Meursault, one of the best white wine areas (Chardonnay) with some pretty good Pinot Noir reds, the following are the individual appellations:-
La Barre et le Clos de la Barre. Les Casse-Tête. Les Charrons. Les Chevalières. Les Clous. Les Corbins. Les Criots. Le Cromin. Le Limosin. Les Luchets. Les Marcausses. Le Meix-Chavaux. Les Millerands. La Monatine. Le Murger-de-Monthelie. Les Narvaux. Les Pellans. Les Pelles. Le Pré-de- Manche. Les Rougeots. Les Terres-Blanches. Les Tessons. Les Tillets. La Velle. Les Vireuils.
