114x36cm. Printed in colours, indicating the regions and quality of the wine produced. Excellent condition. Between Ladoix-Serrigny and the hillsides of the Maranges, the Côte de Beaune winegrowing region covers 20km from north to south. Facing the morning sun, these vineyards are never more than a few hundred meters wide. Yet they produce red and white wines that are internationally renowned. Their reputation also extends to the town of Beaune, an historical center where you can discover all the secrets of the Bourgogne winegrowing region. A little farther to the west, behind the Côte de Beaune, the vines flourish on a gently concave plateau, 400m above sea level. This is the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. On the sunniest slopes, around 20 communes produce lively and accessible wines from the Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune appellation. Louis Larmat wine maps, published in the 1940s, are iconic in the history of French wine cartography. These regional maps for all major French wine producing areas, including Bordeaux, Burgundy / Bourgogne, Champagne, Loire, Rhône and Alsace, focus on vineyard zones rather than administrative boundaries. They show named communes, vineyard parcels, and appellation boundaries, coinciding with the establishment of the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system in France. Original editions are now highly collectible, perfect for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.…
