Côte d'Or is small but its influence is huge and it can even strike terror into the heart of wine professionals. It’s an intimidating terroir but Raymond Blake’s companionable Côte d'Or paints a complete picture of life there – the history, the culture, the people, the place, the geography and the climate – making it easy for readers to understand this complex region.

Raymond Blake is one of Ireland’s leading wine writers. His enthusiasm for wine is boundless; as an independent voice his judgement is widely respected. As wine editor of Food & Wine Magazine, a position he has held since its launch in 1997, his travels take him to the far-flung corners of the wine world, though his spiritual home is Burgundy. He writes for numerous other publications and is a member of the Circle of Wine Writers. In 2006 he was inducted as a Chevalier du Tastevin in Burgundy.

‘The books that taught me about wine were about places and people. It’s the history and stories about a wine that bring it to life and make it worth talking about.’
