Special soil in Beaune?

A

Oxfordian-Rauracian (Upper Jurassic) limestone. The bedrock is younger here than in the Côte de Nuits or further south in the Côte de Beaune.

Red-tinted soils on the mid-level and lower slopes are common, due to the presence of iron in the underlying Oxfordian limestone
