Updated September 2026. Figures from the 2024 vintage, published in 2025.
Burgundy does not have one land market: it has ten, stacked on top of each other by appellation level. The gap between the bottom and the top of that stack is measured in orders of magnitude, not percentages.
Ten appellation levels, ten markets
Five benchmarks give the shape of it, per hectare:
- Premier cru, white — €2,550,000
- Village, Côte de Beaune, white — €1,050,000
- Village, Côte de Nuits, red — €900,000
- Chablis — €245,000
- Saône-et-Loire, AOP average — €92,000
Between the last two lies a factor of nearly three; between the first and the last, a factor of twenty-eight. Any statement about “the price of Burgundy vineyard land” that does not name an appellation level is meaningless.
Why the grand cru line is blank
For the 2024 vintage, no average was published for grand cru: the number of recorded transactions was too small for the statistical service to release a figure without identifying the parties. The last published value, for 2023, was €9m per hectare. This is not a gap in our data — it is the market itself. A handful of hectares change hands in a decade, each one a private negotiation.
Why Burgundy trades by the are
At these levels a hectare is rarely the unit of trade. Holdings are fragmented by generations of inheritance, and parcels come to market in ares — hundredths of a hectare. A buyer acquiring twenty ares of premier cru is conducting a full transaction, with the same due diligence, for a fraction of the surface.
What published averages miss
The series report by appellation level, never by climat, and a village-level average covers plots whose individual values differ widely. They also record only sales reaching a notarial deed, and they blend vineyards sold vacant with vineyards sold subject to a lease. Year-on-year movements at the smaller levels — Chablis premier cru rose 25 % between 2023 and 2024 — often reflect the composition of that year's handful of sales rather than a revaluation of the appellation.
Full data series (French). The ten appellation levels, the year-on-year variations and the reliability ratings are published in full in Prix des vignes en Bourgogne. One series, one reference address, never duplicated.
