With the implantation of 400 trees in the project’s park and more than 1000 vines on the rooftop, the project constitutes a new “Climat” in Beaune, combining vine plots with expertise. The innovative construction rising from the park is inspired by the tendril of a vine, this thin stem that wraps itself gently around the trellis wire. The tendril also evokes the idea of perpetual movement at vineyards: changing seasons and the vines' growth cycle, repeating year after year without ever being the same.

The exterior ramp, or the tendril, gives visitors fabulous sweeping views of Burgundy by bringing visitors to the height of this wine environment. While the interior, consisting of reception, boutique, offices, lecture / tasting rooms, exhibition spaces, panoramic restaurant and terrace, aims to share knowledge on wine. The “Cité des Climats et des Vins de Bourgogne” is a model of eco-sustainable commitment, with its BiodiverCity label. It promotes nobles and bio-sourced materials such as burgundy stone, wood and poured-in-place concrete with site materials.

The facades are composed of wooden structures filled with hemp concrete. This project, designed by

ARCHITECTES, is conceived as an authentic place imbued with discovery, exchange, and tradition. We believe that this work would be discovered in the same manner as one tastes wine: with desire, appetite, and modesty.
