Detailed information

Burgundy is a fitting monument to the region that is capable of producing, in Parkers words, the world's most majestic, glorious, and hedonistic red and white wine.With the publication of his classic volumes, Bordeaux and The Wines of the Rhne Valley and Provence, together with the several editions of his Wine Buyers Guide, Robert M. Parker, Jr., has emerged as Americas most influential and articulate authority on wine. Whether he writes of the fabled French chteaux or of lesser-known growers and producers from around the world, his books have proved invaluable reading for connoisseurs and neophytes alike, for they contain not only hard-headed, frank analysis but an undisguised and positively contagious enthusiasm for his subject. In this book, his most ambitious and comprehensive to date, Parker offers an extraordinary guide to the growers, appellations, and wines of Burgundy, the viticultural region in eastern France that produces the most exotic, sought-after, expensive, and frequently least understood wines in the world. Like its predecessors, Bordeaux and The Wines of the RhOne Valley and Provence, Parkers Burgundy has all the makings of a classic. It is a beautifully produced book, and it boasts more than thirty specially made color maps, with those depicting the individual appellations drawn in such exquisite detail that each and every vineyard is visible. Burgundy is a fitting monument to the region that is capable of producing, in Parkers words, the worlds most majestic, glorious, and hedonistic red and white wine.
