The landmark creation of the Grands Crus Classs in 1855 set the benchmark for wine quality around the world. The sixty-one reds of the Mdoc and twenty-seven whites of Sauternes are considered the finest wines in the world. The care that goes into creating these exceptional wines is an art  and the picturesque domaines where this craft is perfected are as beautiful as their wines are refined. This is the first book dedicated to the red and white wines that offers the history of each domaine  along with a guide to the great vintages and an address book to the vineyards. Newly commissioned photographs capture the region throughout the seasons  making this handsome volume both a glorious voyage and an important reference for any wine lover.  The wineries stand beside the stunning properties and belie the meticulous and magical work that they shelter  where a long line of elite winemakers fastidiously watch over the laborious tradition that has defined these exceptional wines for more than 150 years. A chteaus history can be a riveting saga  but it invariably demonstrates that the splendor of great Bordeaux wines resides in perfect balance.  This volume includes a focus on Chteau dYquem  a Premier cru suprieur and the only wine of the Sauternes region to be awarded this rating through the 1855 classification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646907408437,"sku":"ByrdShop_2080203258","price":43.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9782080203250.jpg?v=1781681137","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bordeaux-grands-crus-classs-1855-wine-chteaux-of-the-mdoc-and-sauternes-9782080203250","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
