Riassunto

The French region of Burgundy is a unique mix of historic towns and vineyards, great wines, and staunchly individualistic wine-makers, winebrokers, and wine merchants. Now, award-winning writer Nicholas Faith and photographer Andy Katz capture all the complexity of the region’s character in a perfect marriage of text and images. Their journey takes us to places where the temptation is to linger—Côte d’Or, renowned for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes; Dijon, the historic treasure house of the region; the lovely town of Beaune, heart of the Burgundian wine business; the picturesque villages of Pommard, Volnay, and, above all, Le Montrachet, a tiny mecca for lovers of white wines. Venturing also to outlying regions, they visit Chablis, the Mâcconais, and Beaujolais. The journey ends with a digest of practical advice and information, including a selective guide to the best merchants and producers, and a directory of the Burgundian appellations and Grands Crus.
