Product Description

Ten years after the publication of the highly acclaimed, award-winning Côte D'Or: A Celebration of the Great Wines of Burgundy, the "Bible of Burgundy," Clive Coates now offers this thoroughly revised and updated sequel. This long-awaited work details all the major vintages from 2006 back to 1959 and includes thousands of recent tasting notes of the top wines. All-new chapters on Chablis and Côte Chalonnaise replace the previous volume's domaine profiles. Coates, a Master of Wine who has spent much of the last thirty years in Burgundy, considers it to be the most exciting, complex, and intractable wine region in the world, and the one most likely to yield fine wines of elegance and finesse. This book is an indispensable guide for amateur and professional alike by one of the world's leading wine experts, writing with his habitual expertise, lucidity, and unequaled firsthand knowledge.

Customer Reviews

A classic for Burgundy
In-depth and judicious book about Burgundy wines.

A must for this wine type lovers

The Wines of Burgundy
I much prefer his book Cote D'or as it contains more detailed domaine profile. I wish Clive had done more updates in that area. However the new chapter on Chablis was a welcome addition. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to get more in-depth information about Burgundy.

A list of wines, no more
Very disappointed to find just a listing of wines - thousands - with no commentary or interesting asides.
