Seminar: Pinot Noir and Burgundy: Still Made For Each Other?
Monday, September 8, 2014 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Fox Run Vineyards
670 Route 14, Penn Yan NY
Presenter: Benjamin Bois, Assistant/Associate Professor in Viticulture and Climatology - University of Burgundy
Benjamin Bois is an assistant/associate professor at the University of Burgundy, in Dijon, France. He teaches viticulture, GIS, terroir and climatology at the University Institute of Vine and Wine (IUVV). His research at the University of Burgundy's Climate Research Center is focused on climate / viticulture relationships, with a specific interest in the role of climate in the terroir effect.
Benjamin will be visiting the Finger Lakes for a couple of days next week, hosted by Dr. Alan Lakso, and has graciously agreed to give a talk to our industry about his work on Pinot noir growth and production in Burgundy while he is visiting. Benjamin's talk will include topics like:
- The "ecology" of Pinot noir (origin, soil and climate requirements)
- Burgundy's terroir for Pinot noir and how it is changing
- Pinot noir management in Burgundy (in the vineyard and in the winery)
Benjamin will bring one or two examples of Pinot noir from Burgundy to share with the group after his presentation. Local producers are invited to bring a bottle of Pinot noir to share for tasting and discussion as well.
