Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Ten years after the publication of the highly acclaimed, award-winning Côte D'Or: A Celebration of the Great Wines of Burgundy, the 'Bible of Burgundy,' Clive Coates now offers this thoroughly revised and updated sequel. This long-awaited work details all the major vintages from 2006 back to 1959 and includes thousands of recent tasting notes of the top wines. All-new chapters on Chablis and Côte Chalonnaise replace the previous volume's domaine profiles. Coates, a Master of Wine who has spent much of the last thirty years in Burgundy, considers it to be the most exciting, complex, and intractable wine region in the world, and the one most likely to yield fine wines of elegance and finesse. This book is an indispensable guide for amateur and professional alike by one of the world's leading wine experts, writing with his habitual expertise, lucidity, and unequaled firsthand knowledge.

I much prefer his book Cote D'or as it contains more detailed domaine profile. I wish Clive had done more updates in that area. However the new chapter on Chablis was a welcome addition. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to get more in-depth information about Burgundy.

Very disappointed to find just a listing of wines - thousands - with no commentary or interesting asides.

For newcomers to Burgundy, I would imagine the scant detail on the individual domaines could be frustating (compare the style of the Domaine overviews to Stephen Brook's similarly styled book covering Bordeaux). Nonetheless, an essential guide to the thoughts of 30+ years covered by one of the best Burg palates there is. The tasting notes are excellent for those with Burg's in the cellar, or shopping at auction. Further, I found the general descriptions of the various Cru's and climats most valuable.

I was eagerly awaiting Clive Coates update to the wines of burgundy as I love blue burgundy in particular. I will say from the outset that it is quite different and not as monumental an effort as volume one but what a hard act to follow!It was good to have the tasting review update on the wines over the last 10 years as a reference as well as the vintage assessments but I have the impression that it takes up too much of the new volume and somehow detracts from it.I would have loved more details on the domaine profiles that he has upgraded or included for the very first time,especially the younger vignerons e.g. Fourrier.It would have added so much to the book.There's something about the typesetting I don't like compared to the old volume but perhaps I'm being too picky.The colour maps are very good and better than the grey and white ones of the very first volume.Overall still worth getting to have as a reference for burgundy lovers.

This is the very best book on wines from this reagon that I have ever read.
If you are interested on wines from Burgundy - just get it. It is well worth the money.
A good example is that there is a very detailed section on wines from Chablis. Chablis is perhaps a small part of Burgundy and yet this book treats these wines in great detail... if it does this good a job on Chablis then imagine what a job is does on Cote d'or for example.
