Which Burgundy term refers to a winery located at the vineyard?

• A. Domaine
• B. Vendage
• C. VDT
• D. village AOC

Answer: (A)

In Burgundy, the term for a winery that sits on the vineyard and makes wine on the estate is Domaine. It signals that the grapes come from the producer’s own vines, the winemaking happens on-site, and the wine is typically bottled at the estate, highlighting the terroir and the family's or estate’s control over the process. This contrasts with other terms: Vendange simply means harvest, not where the wine is produced. VDT refers to Vin de Table, a basic table wine without a specific geographic designation, and village AOC denotes the geographic designation of the wine rather than the production site. So Domaine best captures the idea of an on-site, estate winery.
