Question 1

Soils & Topography (4)

1. Steep Slopes (↑ 460m) maxi sunlight
2. Most appellations on R-Bank of River (exp)
3. Granite in best
4. Steep slopes - Soil ero, constant threat

Answer 1

1. Steep slopes (up to 460m) contribute to reinforce the climate’s influence + maximise sunlight
2. Most appellations on the right bank of the river (better exposure)
3. Granite in best sites.
4. Steep slopes -> soil erosion = constant threat.
