Wines of France provides a comprehensive account of the vineyards
and wines of France today. Offering unparalleled range, France has
been the world's most important wine-producing country for more
than a hundred years, and is the source of the major grape
varieties now grown all over the world. Extensively illustrated
with photographs and maps of each area, Wines of France reviews
wine production in all regions of France, from the top appellation
wines to discoveries in Vins de France. Selected wines are
suggested as an introduction to each area. From the classics of
Burgundy and Bordeaux, to the sparkling wines of Champagne, and the
challenging climates of Alsace and the Loire, from the Rhone to the
Languedoc and Provence, all of France's wine regions are included.
Each chapter ends with detailed vintage information. France's wines
are better than ever, but have never been so challenged by
competition. Considering the tension between tradition and
modernism, Wines of France asks whether France is still the
essential reference point for grape varieties and wine styles,
explains how production is changing in established regions, and
identifies new emerging regions.Leading vineyards and winemakers
are profiled in detail, with suggestions for wines to try and
vineyards to visit. With comprehensive coverage of the
wine-producing regions, and reviews of 500 wine producers, this is
the indispensable guide to the wines of France.
