French term used particularly in Burgundy and the Rhône for a vineyard area unit of a rather small size, which can also be a small parcel within a larger site or appellation. Other designations for qualitatively outstanding areas are Climat, Clos, Côte and Cru. A list of all keywords relevant to vineyard area can be found under vineyard area.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
