Craig, well-written article. Thanks for the Drouhin link- one of the most dependable negociants imho.

Another good source of general information is the Burgundy Wine Company's site:

BWC-Burgundy Page

(hope it's ok to post a retail site, I have no affiliation beyond occasional customer). They have a little overview of each village.

While it's true that Burgundy is erratic, that the good ones are mostly expensive, etc., it's still very seductive. I wish I could afford good Grand Crus, but I'll make do mostly with Lafarge Bourgogne and Volnays, Roumier and Mugnier Chambolles, etc.

Thanks for the above link! Great info there.

The Burgundy wine federation, the BIVB, says exports to the US were down 30% in volume and 37% in value in the first six months of the year on the same period in 2002. This compares with falls of 24% and 33% in the first quarter of the year.
