Book Description
Travel with bestselling wine author Robert Joseph on a personal tour through the many and varied regions of Bordeaux. Recounting the history and ambiance of a region where wine has been produced for more than 1,000 years, Joseph describes the individual characters of the wines and wine-making places, such as Marquax and St.-Emilion, as well as the role played by Bordeaux's climate, soil and landscape. We visit the chateaux, villages and vineyards and meet the men and women who turn baskets of grapes into bottles of wine that are sought after around the world. In the style of Tuscany and Its Wines and Scotland and Its Whiskies, the book is beautifully illustrated with more than 100 sumptuous photos.
