  The entities within the wine region of Burgundy that matter most are the domaines. From the 2000 working estates, the author has chosen for this book 110 which he believes make the greatest wine. He analyzes what each maker does to achieve an individual quality, and provides detailed profiles of the workings of the domaines. Additional illustrated essays fill in background to the region - on the grapes grown, the soil and the climate, and the use of wood. The text also includes extensive tasting notes on the vintages since 1945.
