Written by acclaimed sommelier Evans Mae, this book delivers a penetrating, practical blueprint to Burgundy’s intricate world of terroir. It breaks down the region’s unique climates and micro-climates, decodes the hierarchy of crus (from village to grand cru), and shines a spotlight on the cult producers whose wines define the pinnacle of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

What You’ll Discover:

Climates & Terroir Mastery: A clear, sommelier-focused analysis of how Burgundy’s varied soils, exposures, and weather patterns shape every vintage and vineyard.
Crus Decoded: Comprehensive yet accessible breakdowns of the appellation system, key villages, premier and grand cru sites, and what makes each parcel distinctive.
Cult Producers Spotlight: In-depth profiles of the most sought-after winemakers, both legendary names and rising stars—revealing their philosophies, techniques, and the wines that command cult followings.
Practical Tools for Professionals: Tasting frameworks, vintage guides, food pairings, cellar strategies, and insider tips drawn from years on the floor and in the vineyards.

Whether you’re preparing for a Master Sommelier exam, building a world-class wine list, or simply aiming to drink Burgundy with deeper understanding and confidence, this book serves as your authoritative field manual. Rich in insight yet refreshingly straightforward, Inside Burgundy transforms the region’s legendary complexity into an approachable, actionable roadmap.

For anyone who has ever been captivated by a great bottle of Burgundy, and wants to know exactly why it was great, this is the definitive deep dive.
