This book gives a good, but.... quite "general" (and sometimes a tad sketchy) overview of wines from Burgundy.
I recommend it a sort of "pocket" reference book. I would certainly take it along with me on a visit to Burgundy but it would NOT be helpful in planning an "in depth" tour of Burgundy before hand.

Essental Burdundy Guide
A thorough review from A-Z with Burgundian wines and Domaines. Our recent visit would have been too haphazard without this guide.
Review #3
Wines of Burgundy
There is simply no better guide to bring with you when traveling in Burgundy. It is pocket size and yet comprehensive. Other books maybe have great depth but they are suited for reading at home. This is the book that you bring with you and can satisfy the needs of the novice or the connisseur. Serena Sutcliffe is equal to any in her knowledge of Burgundy and you can not go wrong following her advice.
Make sure you get the 2005 edition as it has the latest vintage notes.
