Cote d'Or (2nd edition)

Located in the very heart of Burgundy, Côte d'Or stretches for a narrow 35-mile band but holds some of the world's most expensive vineyard real estate, where some of the great names of French wine, such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Puligny-Montrachet, are produced. There is hardly another wine region where knowledge of the back-story is so critical to understanding the wine, for it is impossible to understand burgundy without reference to the place it comes from and the people who make it. InCôte d'OrRaymond Blake transports the reader to the heart of Burgundy to tell the whole story of this hugely influential region, painting a complete picture of life there: the history, landscape, climate, culture and people.
