Q

What is the surface soil of Beaune?

A

Vineyards at the top of the slope have thin, eroded soils with higher proportion of limestone debris and flint. Vineyards at lower elevation have higher proportions of clay. Red-tinted soils on the mid-level and lower slopes are common, due to the presence of iron in the underlying Oxfordian limestone.
