Omschrijving
From the golden Chardonnays of Chablis and Meursault to the mystical red wines of Chambertin, this book is a deep dive into Burgundy in all its delicious eccentricities. "You might not be able to afford the top wines, but you can still read about them." -- Decanter "It's a book full of all the grand gestures - sweeping statements, effusive adoration, intense emotion, hyperbole and predictable clichés. Few authors have held back. But somehow, because it's burgundy, it's OK. Thank goodness for drunken wolves." -- JancisRobinson.com "...a compilation that delivers on the title. Did you know there were once wolves in Burgundy?" -- Bloomberg
"Some anthologies preserve, some embalm; this one's exuberantly alive, a divergent parliament, a busy talking place with no whispers." -- World Of Fine Wine Burgundy is France's most prized and prestigious wine region today as well as being one of its oldest and most traded, if not always by the English. Its wines, to quote Jay McInerney who contributes, are "for lovers, lunatics and poets..." and are the textbook definition of what terroir is all about. Villages mere meters apart produce wines of startlingly different personalities, and it is one of the rare regions in Europe whose red and white wines are equally celebrated. For all of its precious history it is also a region at the forefront of vinous innovation, with many winemakers certified as biodynamic. It is home to some of the world's most famous wine estates, and its top wines are all made from just one red and one white grape, yet the range of wine styles across the region, from Chablis in the north to Beaujolais in the south is significant. On Burgundy explores all of these themes and ideas with contributions from many of the world's top wine writers, looking at the kings, popes, mavericks and pioneers who have made wine in this region for generations.
