More About This Textbook

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"A solid, in-depth reference on Burgundy -- the best, in fact, since Mr. Coates's own Côte d'Or. . . . An invaluable starting point. "--New York Times

"Coates' magnum opus remains invaluable."--Sf Chronicle

"The serious wine lover would be well advised to invest in this tome."--The Art of Eating

"Resembles the elegant, complex wines that are its subject."--Bloomberg News

"I think my top 2008 recommendation as a reference book would be Clive Coates' The Wines of Burgundy."--Jancisrobinson.com

Library Journal

An update to Coates's award-winning 11-year-old book, Côte D'Or, this substantially expanded volume is now the comprehensive guide to Burgundy vintages dating from 1959 to 2006. At the book's center are 43 pages of regional maps delineating estate names and boundaries. New additions include entire chapters devoted to Burgundy's subregions, Chablis and Côte Chalonnaise. A series of concluding appendixes presents yearly crop sizes; a regionally organized, star-rated wine list; and Coates's ratings of whites and reds from 1945 through 2005, with clarification of numbered distinctions. Highly recommended for enological collections.
