The Finest Wines of Burgundy by Bill Nanson

The Burgundy of today has woken from the lethargy of the 1980s; over the past 20 years it has seen a massive increase in the proportion of wine that can proudly wear on its label ‘Grand Vin de Bourgogne.’

Bill Nanson – by profession a chemist - is more than just an amateur, however; he is a gifted and experienced amateur, who has spent many a year journeying around Burgundy and many an autumn working the vintage. He is more than just a moderate or immoderate imbiber of good bottles. He knows his stuff.

This guide, from Hugh Johnson’s award-winning team, is the sixth in the acclaimed Finest Wines series, and brings the region to life more vividly than ever before. Authoritative, bang up-to-date, and full of actionable information, this essential guide is required reading for all wine lovers and makes a handsome present.

The producer profiles and maps in this guide illuminate a journey through both the well-worn vineyard paths and the backstreet wineries of the Côte d’Or, highlighting the most interesting people, places, and wines along the way.
