The Grand Cru of Burgundy by Remington Norman
For centuries, Burgundy's complex tapestry of vineyards has produced some of the world's greatest wines. Understanding what makes this mosaic special, where one plot is designated Premier Cru while its immediate neighbour is Grand Cru with wine at several times the price, has long challenged wine lovers. In Grand Cru Remington Norman explores the essence of Burgundy through its finest vineyards, discussing the factors that contribute to quality and what makes one wine pedestrian and another sublime. Chapters on the evolution of the famous Cote d'Or, how to taste, matching Burgundy with food and how to buy Burgundy intelligently help unravel the enigma of one of the world's greatest wine regions. This is an ideal follow-up for those who enjoyed Remington Norman's award-winning The Great Domaines of Burgundy.
Remington Norman was a Master of Wine until 2003 and is a member of the Academie Internationale du Vin. His classic book, The Great Domaines of Burgundy, which was awarded the gold medal of the German Gastronomic Society and the Andre Simon Prize for the best wine book of its year, has just re-published in a completely revised third edition. His second book, Rhone Renaissance, also won the Andre Simon Award, Le Prix du Champagne Lanson and the Glenfiddich Prize.
