About this book

This high-level yet readable analysis of one of the worlds most respected wine regions has been expanded; the first edition dealt only with the left bank and this new edition adds coverage of the south bank of the river Bordeaux. It is an all-embracing comprehensive volume by an award-winning wine writer. Brook whose books have received such prestigious awards as the Prix du Champagne Lanson Glenfiddich and Veuve Clicquot prizes provides insider information about how the great Mdoc Graves and other world-famous Bordeaux wines are produced from the red Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignons to the sweet Sauterne whites. Detailed maps and photos cover the most famous chteaux and communes as well as smaller specialists and newcomers worth watching.
