"Legend"[edit]

Dicey general claims for early cultivation on the Côtes d'Or slopes might be corrected by reading the archeological report based on carbon 14 dating of eroded material at the foot of certain slopes in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits: J.P. Garcia, C. Petit, A. Quiperez, "Données nouvelles de datation des substrats du vignoble en Côte de Beaune et en Côte de Nuits: contribution à l'histoire longue des terroirs viticoles" in Bulletin de liaison du Centre Histoire de la Vigne et du Vin 1988, pp 5ff. (I read this at googlescholar).

There may be useful observations on "Clos Charlemagne" in Fanny Arnaud, "Essai de restitution de l'occupation ancienne du sol à partir des données toponymiques spatialisées de Côte d'Or (Aloxe, Gevrey, Marsonné, Vosne)" also in Bulletin du Centre Histoire de la Vigne et du Vin, 1988.--Wetman (talk) 17:06, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Burundies or Burgundies"[edit]

The quotation is "the most sumptuous of all white Burundies" - Looks likely to be a mistype, can anyone check the source? ( T. Stevenson, ed. The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia (5th Edition) pgs 200-201 Dorling Kindersley (2011) ISBN 9780756686840 ) SteveSuth (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
