Hospitality, "cardinal virtue of Burgundy" First of all, the Burgundy Environmental Charter, which marks our vision of the place of wine in our society: respect for nature and the inhabitants. We pay the same attention to those around us as to the fruit of the vine when we make our wines. Then, the City of Wines and Climates of Burgundy, gateway to our vineyard, which symbolizes our desire to welcome a wide audience in our world. This welcome is another cardinal virtue of Burgundy. It is by building on these values shared by both families that we will also be able to build economic value for our territory and our businesses. The bivb, the main professional organisation in Burgundy wine, brings together representatives of viticulture and trade, from Mâcon to Chablis via Beaune.Among its various missions: to make Burgundy wines known throughout the world, to monitor markets and to develop technical innovations, in viticulture and oenology.
