Domaine de Thalie, La Verre Solidaire, Macon, Burgundy, France

Up on the Cote d'Or, Burgundy's commercial heartland, it is understandably planted with vines, vines and more vines. Down here, in Peter Gierszewski's hidden corner of Southern Burgundy, farming is much more varied and the biodiversity is striking. 

Peter's vineyards are at between 300 and 400m altitude, where the wind and wide diurnal temperature range help create conditions ideal for growing grapes organically and to maintain acidity and freshness in even the hottest vintages.
