Linked with their ownership of Louis Jadot, Kobrand also offer here a rather nice webpage that allows you to navigate through maps of the Côte d’Or. The maps are in PDF format, and most are less than 100kb in size – and YES – I know that there are lots of mistakes, the comments on that in this page are numerous – but clearly the commentors didn’t read this – eh? But they were given free: With the exception of a map of Volnay, all courtesy and copyright of Kobrand Education this table is a super ‘cartographical resource’ for which I offer them and the artist Michael Juhn many thanks. Here for a very long time (2004!) are some maps of the Côte d’Or appellations: Compared to the BIVB map site (above) you can actually save ‘views’ that you like by noting the URL – it changes – unlike for the BIVB site. Then there’s this, the French Government ‘GEOPORTAL’ if you want to delve into the vineyards at a parcel-level – no names to find behind the parcel numbers though. It still needs a bit more work for handheld devices I think – a more app-style would be interesting – but it’s a good start □ It works fine on my desktop – integrated with locations of domaines too, etcetera. New, as above, and via the BIVB in March 2020, is this site. Google Maps is an obvious good reference, and the quality of the zoomed-in images is much higher than was once the case. Perhaps it is only Piedmont that comes close to to the diversity of vineyards found in the Côte d’Or. Other than drinking and discussing the wines, there’s nothing so valuable as looking at maps to try and find that elusive vineyard.
