Notre fleuron « Les Terrasses de Valburnot » porte le Pinot noir et à l’avenir le Muscat et le Chardonnay sous la protection de la Sainte Vierge. Les terrasses presque méditerranéennes exposées plein sud bénéficient de la réflexion des murs réchauffés et donnent des vins ronds et puissants qui resteront encore gravés longtemps dans les mémoires.
La formation de Burnot date du dévonien et contient du grès, des conglomérats, des pierres de tourmaline, du schiste et du « siltsteen »

The sediments of the Emsian/Eifelian Burnot Formation are generally considered to be littoral deposits. New field observations at the stratotype sections at Profondeville confirm these ideas for a part of the deposits and indicate that they bear deltaic and other river mouth characteristics. In other parts of the outcrops the sediments were more likely fluviatile and this has of course some consequences with respect to their provenance. The first results of a renewed microscopic study indicate (1) the presence of volcanic and thermometamorphic rock fragments in the conglomerates of the Burnot Formation, (2) that these conglomerates were the site of a post-depositional thermal event and that (3) part of the sand-sized grains of quartz and tourmaline that occur in the groundmass of the conglomerates crystallised in situ from mineralising fluids, after the deposition of the rocks. Because of its dual occurrence as crystals in the matrix and as the major constituent of the well-known tourmalinite pebbles, tourmaline is studied in more detail, rèvealing new evidence with respect to its origin.
