Question 1
Why are mid-slope vineyards on the Côte de Nuits generally considered superior to those at the top or bottom of the slope?
A
They receive more afternoon sun, which increases sugar levels
B
They have deeper, more fertile soils that increase yields and concentration
C
They have the ideal combination of calcaire à entroques and argilo-calcaire soils, with good drainage and vine root penetration into fractured limestone
D
They are farther from the plateau, which reduces frost risk
