The Finest Wines of Bordeaux by James Lawther
Bordeaux has long symbolized the peak of prestige for French wine. Yet, despite its outstanding reputation, the region has remained relatively closed to consumers. This book identifies 90 producers from both the Left and Right banks with the finest wines, and takes us inside their chateaux. It also contains chapters on history and winemaking.
"Follows a brief overview of the regions' history, climate, soil, viticulture, and wine making with geographically divided snapshots of info for each chateau" STARRED REVIEW--Library Journal " Takes a remarkably fresh look at an area often treated with fustiness and boredom. Names both obvious and obscure receive colorful profileS."--Sf Chronicle "This handsomely printed work manages--via sound scholarship and good writing--to transform its timeworn subject into something new and fresh."--Quarterly Review of Wines "There is a wealth of information here that is available nowhere else. An essential book for a lover of Bordeaux wines."--California Grapevine
