The Original Grands Crus of Burgundy is a translation from works describing the vineyards of the Cote d'Or written prior to the establishment of today's system of Appellation d'Origine Controlee in 1936 and a discussion of how they compare to the modern system. For centuries, a number of authors ranging from learned amateurs to experienced professionals weighed in with their thoughts, including Claude Arnoux, Dissertation sur la situation de la Bourgogne, sur les vins qu'elle produit (1728); Claude Courtepee and Edme Beguillet, Description historique et topographique du Duche de Bourgogne (1778); Andre Jullien, Topographie de Tous les Vignobles Connus (1816); Dr. Denis Morelot, Statistique de la Vigne dans le Departement de la Cote d'Or (1831) ; Dr. Jules Lavalle, Histoire et Statistique et des Grands Vins de la Cote d'Or (1855) ; Rene Danguy and Charles Aubertin, Les Grands Vins de Bourgogne (1892) ; and Camille Rodier, Le Vin de Bourgogne (1920). More than a dusty history lesson, The Original Grands Crus of Burgundy provides a roadmap for the discovery of forgotten gems, hidden in plain sight. Crucial reading for all who love Burgundy.
Step inside the châteaux of the fabled red wines of the Médoc and white wines of Sauternes on this insider’s tour, complete with tasting notes for the great vintages. The landmark creation of the Grands Crus Classés in 1855 set the benchmark for wine quality around the world. The sixty-one reds of the Médoc 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 château’s 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 Château d’Yquem, a Premier cru supérieur and the only wine of the Sauternes region to be awarded this rating through the 1855 classification.

"A fascinating book that belongs on every wine lover’s bookshelf."—The Wine Economist "It’s a book to read for its unstoppable torrent of fascinating and often surprising details."—Andrew Jefford, Decanter For centuries, wine has been associated with France more than with any other country. France remains one of the world’s leading wine producers by volume and enjoys unrivaled cultural recognition for its wine. If any wine regions are global household names, they are French regions such as Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy. Within the wine world, products from French regions are still benchmarks for many wines. French Wine is the first synthetic history of wine in France: from Etruscan, Greek, and Roman imports and the adoption of wine by beer-drinking Gauls to its present status within the global marketplace. Rod Phillips places the history of grape growing and winemaking in each of the country’s major regions within broad historical and cultural contexts. Examining a range of influences on the wine industry, wine trade, and wine itself, the book explores religion, economics, politics, revolution, and war, as well as climate and vine diseases. French Wine is the essential reference on French wine for collectors, consumers, sommeliers, and industry professionals.

À chaque étape de l’élaboration du vin, le vinificateur n’est pas seul ; il cohabite avec d’invisibles « collègues » : les micro-organismes. Chaque vinificateur se doit de bien connaître les micro-organismes qui agissent dans son moût puis dans son vin, et de distinguer ceux qui peuvent être bénéfiques ou au contraire préjudiciables. Ces dernières années, les méthodes d’analyse génétique ont considérablement fait progresser la microbiologie du vin. La fermentation malolactique et les bactéries lactiques du vin ont été pleinement concernées par cet essor des connaissances scientifiques. La fermentation malolactique est une étape relativement récente dans le processus d’élaboration des vins, mais d’une importance considérable. Tous les travaux réalisés en amont (qualité des raisins, déroulement de la fermentation alcoolique) et en aval (élevage, stabilisation et préparation du vin à son conditionnement) peuvent être affectés par son déroulement.Cependant, la fermentation malolactique reste bien souvent une étape de la vinification aléatoire et insuffisamment maîtrisée. Cet ouvrage est le premier travail de synthèse qui aborde à la fois les bases scientifiques fondamentales sur les bactéries lactiques du vin et le processus de fermentation malolactique, les développements récents de la recherche (dans sa première partie) et des situations rencontrées en production, au travers de nombreuses expérimentations et observations de terrain (dans sa seconde partie). Illustré de nombreux exemples précis et de protocoles détaillés, cet ouvrage s’adresse à tous les praticiens et professionnels du vin. Les œnologues, les producteurs, les laboratoires et les étudiants en œnologie y trouveront de nombreuses informations techniques leur permettant de mieux appréhender la complexité de la fermentation malolactique, d’optimiser son déroulement dans leur chai ainsi que les outils adaptés pour solutionner certaines situations problématiques précises. Les chercheurs y trouveront les applications pratiques de leurs travaux et des voies d’amélioration possibles afin de mieux répondre aux problématiques de terrain rencontrées au quotidien par les praticiens.
