"Since its first publication in 2010, Inside Burgundy has been the benchmark reference on winemaking in the region. Jasper Morris MW is a highly respected writer and critic on the wines of Burgundy. He has been a Master of Wine since 1985, with an illustrious career behind him as a wine merchant and author. He was Berry Bros. & Rudd's Burgundy Director from 2003 to 2017. This second edition spans 800 pages, with expanded coverage of over 1,200 vineyards, 300 wine villages and 700 domaines. It offers detailed insider knowledge on the places and people that make Burgundy such a special winemaking region. Jasper gives particular attention to Burgundy's more affordable regions: Chablis, the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and Nuits, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais. The book includes 45 full-colour maps -- all of which have been revised and updated since the first edition -- shining a light on Burgundy's complex network of vineyards and villages. It also includes six new maps, which illustrate plot-by-plot holdings in individual Grand and Premier Cru vineyards."--Publisher's description.
