Product Description
Review
Acclaimed by Joanna Simon in The Times as 'outstanding' and by Australian wine critic Philip White as 'the finest book on Burgundy I have ever seen', this masterly work, originally published in 1992, has been completely revised and updated. The first edition won an Andre Simon Award for Best Wine Book, was shortlisted for the IACP Julia Child Award and was awarded the gold medal of the German Gastronomic Society. --The Times
Product Description
Subdivided into hundreds of domaines, often family-run and sometimes covering no more than a few hectares, Burgundy can be off-puttingly fragmented even to wine experts. In compiling this revised edition the authors revisited all the domaines that appeared in previous editions plus scores of 'rising stars', to select the very best and most interesting of them - and remove those that no longer come up to scratch. They have spoken to winemakers about their grapes, their soil and their techniques - and, of course, sampled their wines. Following on from the domaine-by-domaine guide are descriptions of the microclimates of the region, the most important grapes and wine styles, as well as tips on buying, storing and tasting wine and a rundown of recent vintages.

This review is from: The Great Domaines of Burgundy (Hardcover)
The very best book on Burgundian Wine. Well written, informative and beautiful pictures. If you only ever buy one book on Burgundy then this is the one!

Very comprehensive reference,
This review is from: The Great Domaines of Burgundy (Hardcover)
This book is a Burg lover's paradise, with listings for most of the notable producers that detail each domaine's history, vineyard holdings, negociant wines and winemaking techniques and philosophy. The book is organized by sub-regions/villages, with a general description of each appellation. Be aware that if you're looking for tasting notes of specific wines, this is not for you. It is, however, the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the Cote d'Or that I've seen.

Unlocks Burgundy's complexities,
By NB (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Domaines of Burgundy (Hardcover)
As a lover of Burgundy, I was anticipating a great book and I was not disappointed. By focusing on the producer rather than the specific appelation, Remington Norman has unlocked what is the world's most confusing wine region. All the books previously have focused on a village and its wines, and only then considered the merits of the producer. I find as a consumer that I grow to like the wines of a particular producer and so I find his approach much more useful. It is amazingly comprehensive but, as always with Burgundy, it's always possible to find the exception he has not covered.A brilliant book.
