Inside Burgundy: the vineyards, the wine and the people has been the benchmark reference on Burgundy's wines, winemakers and vineyards since its first, award-winning, publication in 2010.

Now this new, completely revised and expanded edition brings the Burgundy story up to date. Over 1,200 vineyards and 300 wine villages are covered, profiling and appraising some 700 domaines. Superb full-colour maps pinpoint individual vineyards amid the mosaic of Burgundy's villages and appellations. Complementing the classics of the Côte d’Or is deeper coverage of the regions where burgundy remains affordable: Chablis, the Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and de Nuits. Fresh and fascinating material on the growing season and the changing climate charts the ways viticulture and winemaking are evolving – even in tradition-loving Burgundy.

Jasper Morris, Master of Wine, lives in Burgundy. He is the most respected writer on, and critic of, Burgundy – and the only major writer on its wines to be based there. His status as a Burgundy local – a true insider – allows him to visit vineyards and cellars, to watch and learn from the producers, to taste their wines from their youth to maturity. Few other critics, if any, have tasted such a wide range of great burgundies.

This new edition has 800 pages – 150 pages longer than the first – and adds much more cross-referenced detail: see at a glance the wines produced from which vineyards by what domaine. At once personal and encyclopaedic, Inside Burgundy shares knowledge gained over decades, giving insights into the places, and above all the people, that make these wines so special.
