Large poster designed in 1970 by Alain Cornic to promote the renowned wines of the Côte d’Or, the Burgundy region in France centered around Dijon. The right side shows a pictorial map of the area embellished by vignettes with historical buildings along with differently colored grape clusters marking the wine production zones. The left side features an allegorical depiction of the wine-making process and includes a portrait of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Count of Buffon, a notable Enlightenment figure born in Cote d’Or. Buffon is known for being one of the first naturalists to recognize ecological succession, a concept that later influenced the theories of evolutionists Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin.
