Im Detail
Grapevines mutate naturally over centuries, producing clonal variations within a single variety. Pinot Noir has 50+ recognized clones, each with subtly different characteristics. Dijon clones (113, 114, 115, 667, 777) from Burgundy are planted worldwide. Clone selection profoundly affects wine style — some clones favor aroma, others structure or yield.
