Where Côte d'Or, Bourgogne, France
When 1989
Photographer James L. Stanfield

A chateau and church crown fertile fields in the Côte-d'Or, a 30-mile (48-kilometer) strip of land in Bourgogne (Burgundy), France.

The Côte-d'Or produces some of France's most venerated wines. Much of the land is divided into myriad tiny plots with different owners, all of whom make their own wine. In many places, vines fill the landscape, growing right up to the houses so as not to waste a handful of the precious soil.
