It's amazing the small differences in location and micro-climate that distinguish vineyards and appellations in France - one side of the road might be Grand Cru and the other is not. And the plots of land are tiny. For example, the Clos de Vougeot vineyard is only 50ha but is divided between some 80 winegrowers cultivating 100 different plots. This image was made just outside the village of Gevrey Chambertin, which has the distinction of having the highest number of Grand Crus in Burgundy.

Shot on Fuji Velvia ISO 50 using a Nikon F80 and an AF 80-200mm f2.8mm lens at 150mm.
