 Highly Recommended for Burgundy fans... April 16, 2008
7 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is the long-awaited second edition of Clive Coates' Cote d'Or book. It contains an amazing level of details on the Burgundy producers, regions, districts, and vineyards. This edition also covers vintages from 1959 forward, up to and including a brief review of the 2007 vintage. It's mind boggling how much information there is. And it's also envy-inducing to realize how much wines Mr. Coates has tasted over the years. :-)
The first chapter is fascinating reading for a wine newbie like me. It contains information on the wine making process, vineyard management, and how to best enjoy the bottles. I especially love the Vougeot map where each producer's plot is outlined. (See Maps: The Cote de Nuits page 15). And having tasted the 1997 Jean Grivot Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts and found it full of fruit and elegance (despite that vintage's reputation), I am very happy to see that Mr. Coates has elevated Domaine Jean Grivot to 3 stars. Of course prices for Jean Grivot's wines will be rising accordingly now that Mr. Coates has given the Domaine a higher rating but, c'est la vie, non?
Happy reading and tasting!
