Dijon University: Pilgrimage to Clone Zero
Every Pinot Noir clone number - 115, 667, 777, 828 - traces back to one place: the University of Burgundy in Dijon. In the 1950s-70s, French enologists identified the healthiest, most expressive Pinot strains and assigned them catalog numbers. Clone 777 was literally the 777th vine certified. This pilgrimage takes you to where modern clone science began - and then rewards you with the wines in the covered market where Burgundy's growers still shop.
