Book Reviews of The Wines of Burgundy: Revised Edition
Book Review: Highly Recommended for Burgundy fans...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the long-awaited second edition of Clive Coates' Cote d'Or book. It contains an amazing level of details on the Burgundy producers, regions, districts, and vineyards. This edition also covers vintages from 1959 forward, up to and including a brief review of the 2007 vintage. It's mind boggling how much information there is. And it's also envy-inducing to realize how much wines Mr. Coates has tasted over the years. :-)
The first chapter is fascinating reading for a wine newbie like me. It contains information on the wine making process, vineyard management, and how to best enjoy the bottles. I especially love the Vougeot map where each producer's plot is outlined. (See Maps: The Cote de Nuits page 15). And having tasted the 1997 Jean Grivot Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts and found it full of fruit and elegance (despite that vintage's reputation), I am very happy to see that Mr. Coates has elevated Domaine Jean Grivot to 3 stars. Of course prices for Jean Grivot's wines will be rising accordingly now that Mr. Coates has given the Domaine a higher rating but, c'est la vie, non?
Happy reading and tasting!
Summary of The Wines of Burgundy: Revised Edition
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.Spirits Books
