Origin of the climat
This land has been given to the Citeaux Abbaye by the vicar of Gilly les Citeaux, in 1385. Located in the alluvial cone of Chambolle Musigny combe, « Les Chatelots » have a hollow topography. One of the hypothesis about the origin of this name, is its ability to hold the water while the river located upstream, overflowed. « Chatelots » comes from « Castelum » : the water tower. Nowadays the river is underground.
