You step off the village street into a corridor of vines — low-staked rows running down a sun-warmed slope, the limestone beneath them pale and compact like old bones. The rhythm of pruning shears and the faint perfume of crushed must hang in the air as your guide leads you along tractor ruts that cut through parcels labeled with the names of climats: Charmes, Les Perrières, small letters that mean a lot here.
