Le réveil de la Côte Dijonnaise (French edition) by Jacky Rigaux | Terre en Vues

The Awakening of the Côte Dijonnaise by Jacky Rigaux is an essential book for all wine and terroir enthusiasts. In this book, Jacky Rigaux, a prominent terroir specialist, revisits the reasons behind the disappearance and the return to the spotlight of the wines from the Côte Dijonnaise.

The vineyards of the Dijonnais, formerly known as "Dijonnois," experienced a period of glory from the Middle Ages until the late 17th century. At that time, they spanned several hundred hectares, including plantations in Daix, Talant, Saint-Apollinaire, and Fontaine. These wines were then more highly esteemed than the greatest crus of Gevrey or Vosne.

Today, only about thirty hectares of these historic vineyards remain. Jacky Rigaux and Jean-Pierre Garcia have already discussed the rich past of this vineyard in the collective work Vignes et vins du Dijonnois, Oubli et Renaissance.

In The Awakening of the Côte Dijonnaise, Jacky Rigaux addresses a broad audience to tell the fascinating story of this vineyard, its disappearance, and its rebirth. This book is a tribute to the wines of the Côte Dijonnaise and their unique terroir.
