'Carte vinicole (versant est) de la Côte d'Or produisant les vins fins'
A very uncommon 19th-century wine map of the east-facing slope of the Côte d’Or, and one of the earliest cartographic expressions of Burgundy’s vineyard classification. It covers the classic Burgundy belt running from Dijon south through Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Santenay. The map depicts communes, roads, railways, and vineyard localities arranged in a single vertical band for ease of comparison along the côte. No institutional examples have been located bearing the Cretin-Pellion imprint; recorded examples are held only at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gallica) and the State Library of Victoria, both with the Damongeot-Pelletier, Beaune imprint and apparently representing the same issue. Vineyard classification is indicated by hand colour, following Jules Lavalle’s foundational 1855 hierarchy: Têtes de cuvées (mauve), Premières cuvées (red), Secondes cuvées (yellow), and Troisièmes cuvées (green). An important early carte vinicole illustrating the historical foundations of Burgundy’s modern Grand Cru and Premier Cru classifications.
