The Coral Wine Trail
Where Burgundy Terroir Meets the Pacific Ocean
You have heard of terroir? Try coral-oir. In the middle of the Pacific, on an atoll so remote it is closer to New Zealand than France, a Burgundian winemaker decided to prove everyone wrong. Two harvests per year. No winter. No phylloxera ever. The only pest? Giant land crabs that crawl into the vineyard and literally eat the leaves off the vines.

Plan the trip
Insider tip. Fly in on a clear day. The approach over the atoll - that thin ring of land around a lagoon - is the most surreal wine country entrance on Earth. Book the day before via your pension; they only run tours with interest.
