Raymond Blake’s guide to the Côte d’Or, the stretch of Burgundy split into the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. It covers the history of winemaking there, how the vineyards came to be divided up, and how geology and climate shape the wines. It profiles the region’s producers, reviews the vintages and looks at the challenges the region faces. It ends with advice if you’re planning a visit.

It’s a book to keep on the shelf and pick up whenever you’re choosing a bottle.
