Burgundy...Made a Little Easier

As a former Burgundy buyer/expert for a huge retailer, I found this to be the most complete book on Burgundy to date. The information is well laid out and decently up to date (2004 edition). The producer bios are all very in depth.

Not for beginners by any means, but a must read for anyone developing advanced wine education.

Pros: well written, great information, superb bios
Cons: paperback (at least mine is), lacks good maps (but the World Atlas of Wine helps so have it handy)

I found the information, the review, the opinion of this book is not that useful, because the information content is out of date. An updated version will be helpful.

The best Burgundy book for the general aspects of the region

Mr. Hanson's coverage of the producers is both shallow and too biased on his accidental trade relations. His appellations survey is as adequate as almost every other writer's. But his in-depth general chapter (which IMHO could and should be published as a 300 pages book of its own) is without parallel! Simply a must for any Burgundy lover and for anyone seriously interested in this intricate wine region.

In this definitive guide to Burgundy?s 100 appellations, its complex wine laws, and innumerable growers and merchants, expert Anthony Hanson gives critical insight into the region?s possible pitfalls, its key improvements, and greatest bottles.
