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.
