The Original Grands Crus of Burgundy

The Original Grands Crus of Burgundy

The Original Grands Crus of Burgundy is a translation from works describing and classifying the vineyards of the CÃ´te dâ€™Or written prior to the establishment of todayâ€™s system of Appellation dâ€™Origine ContrÃ´lÃ©e in 1936 and a discussion of how they compare to the modern system.

For centuries, a number of authors ranging from learned amateurs to experienced professionals weighed in with their thoughts. Translations from the most notable of these works form the backbone of the present work
