Burgundy and Its Wines

Burgundy is a unique mix of historic towns and vineyards, great wines, and thousands of stubbornly individualistic wine makers, brokers, and merchants. The spirit of the region comes alive here, through text by award-winning wine writer Nicholas Faith and Andy Katzs incomparable photographs. Through this perfect marriage of words and images, oenophiles can travel to the Cte dOr, which produces outstanding Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; the Domaine de la Romane-Conti, home of the worlds most expensive red wine; the three outlying regions of Chablis; as well as the Mconnais, Beaujolais, and many other lovely sites. A selective guide to the best merchants and producers, as well as a directory of appellations and Grands Crus, help wine-lovers in their purchases and on visits to the area.
