On Burgundy by Susan Keevil
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

Susan Keevil started her life in wine as a ‘cellar rat’ cooling Chardonnays in Australia’s Hunter Valley, none of which prepared her for the world of book publishing back in the UK where she honed her wine knowledge working with Hugh Johnson on six editions of his international best-seller, The Pocket Wine Book. Susan then landed her dream job as editor of Decanter magazine (the path to many worldwide wine adventures) and later became author of the Which? Guide to Wine as well as a regular magazine columnist and contributor. The launch of the Académie du Vin Library in 2019 saw a return to specialist wine books for which Susan is a writer and editor-in-chief.
