Lieu-dit — Pinot Country A named place on the cadastral map — the official French term for a piece of ground people call something. Every climat is a lieu-dit; not every lieu-dit carries a cru rank. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/lieu-dit/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Terroir — Pinot Country The claim that a wine tastes of where it grew — soil, slope, aspect, weather, and the habits of the people farming it. In France it is also a legal argument, because appellations are drawn on it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/terroir/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Vendange entière — Pinot Country Whole harvest: the bunches go in as they came off the vine, stems and all. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/vendange-entiere/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Climat — Pinot Country In Burgundy, a named parcel of vineyard with a boundary, a history and a reputation — not a weather word. There are over a thousand of them on the Côte d'Or, and UNESCO listed the lot in 2015. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/climat/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
Saignée — Pinot Country The bleed. Juice drawn off a red fermenter to concentrate what stays, and sold as rosé. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/saignee-term/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Pigeage — Pinot Country Punching the cap down into the wine. The old tool is a plunger; the old method is bare legs. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/pigeage-term/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Vigneron — Pinot Country A grower who makes the wine. Not a winemaker who buys fruit and not a farmer who sells it — the word insists on both halves of the job. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/vigneron/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Hanzell Vineyards — Pinot Country James Zellerbach planted two acres of pinot noir and four of chardonnay above Sonoma in 1953, then built a cellar copying Burgundy's methods — French oak, temperature control, inert gas. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/producer/hanzell/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K
Monopole — Pinot Country A named vineyard held whole by one owner. Rare in Burgundy, where inheritance splits everything, and printed on the label whenever it is true. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/monopole/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Cru — Pinot Country A growth: a vineyard, or a class of vineyards, recognised for what it yields. Grand cru and premier cru rank the ground in Burgundy; in Bordeaux the same word ranks the château instead. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/cru/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
