Lieu-dit

Three bottles of red Corton AOC wine, from the same appellation, showing different usages of lieu-dit (climat) designations on labels, in addition to the appellation's name. On the left, a wine with no indication of specific lieu-dit, in the middle a wine where Le Rognet is indicated in small print, and on the right a wine from Les Renardes, written hyphenated with Corton as "Corton-Renardes".

Lieu-dit (French pronunciation: [ljø.di] ⓘ; plural: lieux-dits) (literally location-said, "named place") is a French toponymic term for a small geographical area bearing a traditional name. The name usually refers to some characteristic of the place, its former use, a past event, etc. A lieu-dit may be uninhabited, which distinguishes it from an hameau (hamlet), which is inhabited. In Burgundy, the term climat is used interchangeably with lieu-dit.
