Vineyard image: I took this from the Burgundy wine article. I hope this is within the new picture uploading policy. (RJP 16:58, 25 September 2005 (UTC))

I deleted a quite polemic quote (even so I fully agree to the polemic) I like Burke's Peerage 09:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

It's not perfect, but there's now a good basic structure in place. Obviously all those red links to the main village appellations need to be created, but it makes a convenient 'to do' list. At this stage I don't think we need separate articles for every Grand Cru, they can be covered by the village articles in the main. It's really hard keeping to a NPOV when you try to do even basic descriptions of the differences in styles between the different communes, but I've tried to keep it general, and it's the sort of thing that could be referenced by citations to specific page numbers in Coates or Jancis.
