A mine of information and an indispensable working tool for both professionals (négociants, growers, brokers, importers, distributors, sommeliers) and amateur wine-lovers. Neither touristic nor promotional in intent, it brings together all the essential facts about the wines of Burgundy - areas of production, grape varieties, methods of wine-making, appellations, legislation, and marketing. Frequent new editions, regularly up-dated, mean that users can count on information of a completeness and accuracy not equalled in any other work of this kind. Burgundian owner-growers and négociant-éleveurs alike recommend it as the best possible guide to its subject.
As an initiation into wine-growing and wine-making Burgundy, and as a reference source, the manual can be consulted any time, anywhere: in the office, while travelling, in the wine-cellar or in the vineyard.

362 pages, 110 appellations presented in tech sheets, 8 color maps of the region's vineyards, 57 color maps of the appellations, 30 tables and charts
