Ahuy Between Water and Wine: Discovering the Forgotten Viticultural History of the Commune of Ahuy

The association In Divio Veritas signs here a captivating work dedicated to the Viticultural memory of Ahuy, a commune in the Dijon metropolitan area long overlooked for its rich historical past of wine-growing village.

After the French Revolution, the inhabitants, finally freed from the control of the canons, reclaim their lands and revive a quality vineyard, maintained with passion and Technicality. Despite the wars, the economic crises and the climatic hazards, The winemakers of Ahuy succeed in maintaining a renowned production, symbolizing Burgundian expertise.

But the end of the 19th century marks a turning point: the Urban pressure exerted by the proximity of Dijon, combined with the spread of the Phylloxera and at the deterioration of grape varieties, hastens the decline of these promising vines. Yet, their natural potential rivaled that of large estates in the Côte de Nuits.

Through a richly documented and illustrated investigation, "Ahuy between water and wine" invites the reader to rediscover this forgotten wine history, marked by resilience and humanity. The book also highlights the essential role of the Suzon, this capricious stream that has shaped both the land and the human destinies of the region.

This volume of more than 200 pages in the 20 x 27 cm format, published by Zest Editions, is the first title in the collection "Wine villages of Greater Dijon", dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the local wine heritage.

An essential book for the history enthusiasts, the wine enthusiasts and all those who wish to understand how the vine cultivation shaped the landscapes and identities of the Burgundy.
