Le permis de Beaune : 40 Questions to Fully Understand the Appellation (French Edition) by Jacky Rigaux | Studio Mag

The Beaune Permit: 40 Questions to Understand the Appellation is a unique book that invites you to discover the rich and complex world of the Beaune appellation. Created by Jacky Rigaux and published by Studio Mag, this book is a true exploration through 40 questions that decode the very essence of this exceptional terroir.

Beaune, with its 20,000 inhabitants and 2 million tourists annually, is much more than just a city. Globally recognized as the capital of Burgundy wines, it is famous for its charity auction held every third Sunday of November. This auction, organized by the Hospices de Beaune, symbolizes the city's attachment to its wine heritage and the art of hospitality.

The Beaune appellation spans 415 hectares of vineyards, making it the largest in the Côte-d'Or. This territory is a true mosaic of climates, mostly classified as premier cru, and dominated by Pinot Noir, the king grape variety of the region. Yet, despite this richness, Beaune remains too often unknown to the general public.

This book, supported by the Organisme de Défense et de Gestion (ODG) of Beaune, is an initiative by local winemakers and merchants to give the appellation the recognition it deserves. Through the 40 questions posed, the authors will guide you through the history, specifics, and secrets of these vineyards.

In Beaune, we drink Beaune! This militant maxim, shared by the inhabitants and winemakers, reflects the deep attachment of the local community to its wine heritage. The landscapes of Beaune, shaped by centuries of viticulture, today inspire a new generation of winemakers, ready to share their love for their appellation with the world.

Since the foundation of the Hospices de Beaune nearly 590 years ago by Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins, this city has continuously cultivated its image as a symbol of Burgundy wine. This historical heritage, coupled with meticulous care given to the vines, is at the heart of Beaune's identity. The Beaune Permit is much more than just a book: it is an invitation to discover, understand, and above all, appreciate a unique appellation.

The book, written in French, is also an excellent educational tool for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of Burgundian viticulture. Whether you are a wine enthusiast or a professional, this book is a must-have for your library.
