Some great wines of Burgundy to try
The great wines of Burgundy can perform like “a great orchestra’ offering ‘a heavenly scent, perfumed with notes of sweet decay...” - and it is no wonder that they have “held people in thrall for centuries”. So writes Raymond Blake in his new book Côte d’Or part of the Classic Wine Library series just published by Infinite Ideas www.infideas.com; available in good book and wine shops (e.g. Bradleys, 64 Wines).
Blake is the wine editor of Food and Wine magazine and this is his second book on Burgundy (his previous travelogue/memoir Breakfast in Burgundy is also recommended), and he is to be congratulated for such a readable informative book about this most vexing and glorious of wine regions.
