The stakeholders in CVB include the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne, the generic body for Burgundy vine growers and wine producers along with the region’s district authorities, Conseil Régional de Bourgogne, Conseil Général de Côte d’Or, along with the cities of Dijon and Beaune.

“With 50,000 signatories backing the campaign, Burgundy is now looking forward to January 2014 when the climats will be considered again for inclusion in 2015,” it states.
