Ten years after the publication of the highly acclaimed, award-winning "Cocte D'Or: A Celebration of the Great Wines of Burgundy", the 'Bible of Burgundy', Clive Coates now offers this thoroughly revised and updated sequel. This long-awaited work details all the major vintages from 2006 back to 1959 and includes thousands of recent tasting notes of the top wines. All-new chapters on Chablis and Cocte Chalonnaise replace the previous volume's domaine profiles. Coates, a master of wine who has spent much of the last thirty years in Burgundy, considers it to be the most exciting, complex, and intractable wine region in the world, and the one most likely to yield fine wines of elegance and finesse. This book is an indispensable guide for amateur and professional alike by one of the world's leading wine experts, writing with his habitual expertise, lucidity, and unequaled first-hand knowledge.

2008-08-05 Tasting notes

Contrary to what the two other reviewers of this book have stated,to me one of the strengths of the book is the tasting notes.
The majority of wine enthusiasts are going to seek out older wines to drink as they appreciate that most good burgundy needs plenty of bottle age before it is at its best.
The book is very well written and represents good value at the price.----------lets face it, you would struggle to buy a half decent bottle of burgundy for the price of this book!!!
