Biodiversité et Patrimoine : La vigne, un patrimoine à conserver (French edition) | A.R.C. Pontus du Tyar

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of wine biodiversity through the book Biodiversity and Heritage: The Vine, a Heritage to Preserve. This book, the result of the 2014 Pontus de Tyard Days held in Bissy-sur-Fley, provides an in-depth reflection on the importance of preserving the heritage richness that the vine represents.

Organized by the UNESCO Chair "Culture and Traditions of Wine" at the University of Burgundy, this fourth edition of the Pontus de Tyard Days brought together experts from various fields: natural heritage conservators, historians, ampelographers, and museum directors. Their common goal? To illustrate and analyze the issues related to the preservation of ancient grape varieties and the transmission of wine heritage.

The central theme of this book, “The Vine, a Heritage to Preserve”, is explored from different perspectives:

• Conservation of Ancient Grape Varieties: Discover how traditional grape varieties, sometimes nearly extinct, are cataloged and reintroduced in France and Europe. These grape varieties, guardians of the biodiversity of vitis vinifera L., constitute a precious heritage.

• Role of Religious Communities: Learn how religious communities played a crucial role in the development and sustainability of the vineyard in Burgundy and Champagne. Their contribution has shaped the vineyard landscapes we know today.

• Reading Vineyard Landscapes: The book invites you to “read” the landscapes of the Côte Châlonnaise, born from the interaction between nature and the know-how of winemakers. These landscapes reflect a rich history and a culture deeply rooted in the territory.

• The Château Pontus de Tyard: Symbolizing the alliance between built heritage and natural heritage, the Château Pontus de Tyard, with its vineyards and orchards, embodies the resilience of heritage against the trials of time. It stands as a living testament to the passion and expertise that have marked the viticultural history of the region.

This book is not just a book but an invitation to continue the dialogue and support for a heritage viticulture. The UNESCO Chair "Culture and Traditions of Wine" is committed to promoting and protecting this unique heritage for future generations.
