Burgundy made easy ......

Or easier, at least. Detailed information about what is surely the most complex wine region in the world is easier to come by, thanks to the website www.bivb.com. The Official Burgundy Wine Website, as it has been dubbed by its parent body, the Bureau Interprofessional des Vins de Bourgogne, is a comprehensive reference resource of about 1,000 pages - interactive, fully illustrated and regularly updated. Useful, whether you want to discover some niggling detail about one of Burgundy's 98 appellations, find out about one of some 600 producers, or just sign up for a course at the Ecole du Vin. Another site address to bear in mind is www.burgundywine.net.
