The Guides to Wines and Top Vineyards cover classic wine-producing regions wordwide and profile the top producers. This Guide combines the guides to the Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon, and Chablis to present a complete view of all Burgundy, from the great communes of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits (Puligny and Chassagne Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Corton, Nuits St. Georges, Clos Vougeot, Chambolle Musigny, Morey St. Denis, Gevrey Chambertin, and others), the communes of the Côte Chalonnaise (Bouzeron, Givry, Mercury, Rully, and Montagny), Mâcon (including Pouilly-Fuissé), and Chablis. Description of each area includes its geography, the grape varieties that are grown, how these relate to the styles of wines that are produced, wines from entry level to icons, current trends and how styles are evolving. References wines are recommended for each region. The guide is illustrated with photographs of each area, topological maps to show the terrain, road maps to identify the locations of estates, and information on recent vintages. Profiles range from producers who may dominate an appellation to small estates that define the cutting edge. The profiles identify the best of tradition and innovation in the region. Each estate profile describes the producer's aims for his wines, and the personality and philosophy behind them. Reference wines are suggested for leading producers.
