Maison Ilan's Blog

I just wanted to put up some info on a coffee table book that I have enjoyed quite a bit. This book, Les Grand Cru de Bourgogne, vus de ciel (seen from the sky) is of course filled with beautiful photographs of Burgundy and some nice summaries along with a few dashes of history thrown in. What I like is that it puts a different visual to Burgundy than is the norm. Typically, you see that horizontal map of the Cote d’Or, trying to imagine the terrain and topography differences. This book adds vibrant life to the beautiful layout of Burgundy which I think is rewarding for anyone interested in Burgundy or vineyards in general. Sure, you can get an idea from google Earth. However, the photos in this book are far more detailed as they were taken from helicopters.

Enjoy…

Cheers
