The best Burgundy book for the general aspects of the region, 20 April 1998
By Yak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Burgundy (Classic wine library) (Paperback)
Mr. Hanson's coverage of the producers is both shallow and too biased on his accidental trade relations. His appellations survey is as adequate as almost every other writer's. But his in-depth general chapter (which IMHO could and should be published as a 300 pages book of its own) is without parallel! Simply a must for any Burgundy lover and for anyone seriously interested in this intricate wine region.

Burgundy...Made a Little Easier, 24 Nov 2007
By Christopher Barrett "Evil Corgi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Burgundy (Classic wine guide) (Paperback)
As a former Burgundy buyer/expert for a huge retailer, I found this to be the most complete book on Burgundy to date. The information is well laid out and decently up to date (2004 edition). The producer bios are all very in depth.
Not for beginners by any means, but a must read for anyone developing advanced wine education.
Pros: well written, great information, superb bios
Cons: paperback (at least mine is), lacks good maps (but the World Atlas of Wine helps so have it handy)

Burgundy, 13 May 2007

This review is from: Burgundy (Classic wine guide) (Paperback)
I found the information, the review, the opinion of this book is not that useful, because the information content is out of date. An updated version will be helpful.
