A simple approach to help everyone to understand and share the taste of all wines.
Using this approach and allowing curiosity and wonder to guide your wine tasting is the golden ticket to a journey of the senses and of the mind.
Wine tasting involves all our senses; it relies on the eyes for colour, the nose for aromas, the ears for effervescence, the palate for aromas and flavours.
All that remains is to perceive, identify and express what is sensed.
Wine-lovers, be they novice or expert, will find in this book the methods and essential notions of agronomy and oenology, as well as a glossary to help them better understand the language of the wine world.
Guide des vins de Bourgogne qui présente 33 grands crus : géologie, toponymie, caractéristiques gustatives, entre autres. Avec une cartographie de ces terroirs ainsi que des témoignages de vignerons.
In 1964 - he was 31 years old -, Georges Duboeuf, born into a family of winegrowers that had lived in the Mâconnais since the 17th century, created his company "Les vins Georges Duboeuf." Fifty years later, the founder has imposed his name on the entire world's tables. Today, his name is identified with Beaujolais Nouveau, which he triumphantly presents, each third Thursday in November, as well as crus from the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions.
A peerless taster as well as a marketing and communication man, Georges Duboeuf has paired his company's image with the most prestigious names in haute cuisine, show business, the press and literature, from Paul Bocuse to Michel Troisgros, Georges Blanc and Guy Savoy, from Patrick Bruel to Lambert Wilson, without forgetting his dear and utterly loyal friend Bernard Pivot.
In this book, written with the complicity of Jean Orizet whose father, Louis Orizet, was Georges Duboeuf's "pen" for 30 years, the man whom Paul Bocuse calls "the king of Beaujolais" recounts his exceptional commercial and human adventure. Georges Duboeuf is one of those men who makes people love France.
Des vins somptueux et denses, aussi énigmatiques que voluptueux, un coteau abrupt jusqu'à l'impossible, d'une richesse géologique labyrinthique, une dimension historique capitale : l'Hermitage procède d'une vérité essentielle et défie la superficialité.
Enraciné dans le vignoble depuis 1481, le domaine Jean-Louis Chave écoute et sculpte incessamment les collines de Saint-Joseph et de l'Hermitage, à la recherche de leur secret, de la vérité absolue du vin.
Ses immenses vins sont l'héritage sensible de pierres revêches et d'un artisanat farouchement défendu. Ils expriment une recherche obstinée de la beauté liquide, beauté inséparable de l'écologie des sites et des gestes fondamentaux du métier de vigneron.
Une passion endurante distingue ce domaine des Côtes-du-Rhône, passion à laquelle ce livre nous introduit avec clarté, en nous ouvrant ainsi les portes d'un domaine aussi célébré que secret.
A compact illustrated guide to the emerging and enormously popular category of natural wine, a style that focuses on minimal intervention, lack of additives, and organic and biodynamic growing methods. Today, wine is more favored and consumed that it's ever been in the United States--and millennials are leading the charge, drinking more wine than any other generation in history. Many have been pulled in by the tractor beam of natural wine--that is, organic or biodynamic wine made with nothing added, and nothing taken away--a movement that has completely rocked the wine industry in recent years. While all of the hippest restaurants and wine bars are touting their natural wine lists, and while more and more consumers are calling for natural wine by name, there is still a lot of confusion about what exactly natural wine is, where to find it, and how to enjoy it. In Natural Wine for the People , James Beard Award-winner Alice Feiring sets the record straight, offering a pithy, accessible guide filled with easy definitions, tips and tricks for sourcing the best wines, whimsical illustrations, a definitive list to the must-know producers and bottlings, and an appendix with the best shops and restaurants specializing in natural wine across the country, making this the must-buy and must-gift wine book of the year.
For sheer magic, champagne has no equal. It is the very emblem of sophistication, of celebration, of uninhibited pleasure. One of the most closely protected wine appellations in the world, it enhances French art de vivre and contributes to its global prominence and prestige. Ever since champagne was first dreamed up at the turn of the eighteenth century, the region's visionary producers have forged ahead to open new markets and develop local terroirs.
Just how did the cork-popping devil's wine become the blessed nectar of the gods? Whether it's crafted by independent vignerons who cultivate grapes on their own lands or produced by legendary houses, champagne remains an international success that shines in a category by itself, beyond every other sparkling wine on Earth.
From exceptional vintages to an array of more recent releases, this exclusive selection curated by World's Best Sommelier Enrico Bernardo spans three centuries and is illustrated by various tasting experiences, insightful tips and singular anecdotes. He highlights the most remarkable bottles ever produced, all united by the impossibility of ever having them together in one cellar at a time, hence this volume's title. Presented in a wooden box, this edition is bound by hand and luxuriously crafted with hand-tipped labels, making it a must have for all champagne aficionados.
L'association des Vignerons de la montagne Sainte-Victoire, créée en 1992, regroupe 30 adhérents : 26 caves particulières et 4 caves coopératives. Elle promeut l'appellation Côtes-de Provence-Sainte-Victoire.
Les femmes et les hommes qui composent cette association se racontent sous la plume de Jefferson Desport, journaliste au magazine Terre de vins, et sous l'oeil du photographe Emmanuel Perrin, qui collabore lui aussi à cette revue.
Le résultat : un très beau et grand livre à feuilleter pour ces très nombreuses photos, sa mise en pages élégante et ses textes qui mettent l'humain au coeur du propos et nous plonge dans le monde des vignerons.
Et bien sûr la part belle est faite à la montagne Sainte-Victoire. De nombreux artistes et poètes ont été fascinés et inspirés par elle, un des plus célèbres étant évidemment Paul Cézanne. C'est aussi un lieu d'une biodiversité très riche et préservée.

Red, white, sparkling or rosé - arguably no other alcoholic drink has had more impact on our society than wine. From its earliest iterations in earthenware jars all the way to the bottles we find lining supermarket shelves today, it has evolved from its use in religious rites along with culture, diet and society as a whole. And with literally billions of litres drank worldwide, our love of fermented grape juice shows no signs of waning.
This little book gets to the heart of our love affair with wine. After taking a tour through a history of its evolution through the centuries, it delves into the nitty-gritty of production before we taste the fruits of all that labour - in moderation of course - and learn all about drinking (and hopefully appreciating) this most esteemed of beverages. As well as a whole caseload of quaffable facts and famous sayings about the nectar of the gods, there is also a glossary of useful wine terminology for the aspiring connoisseur, just in case you need a handy reminder during a particularly arduous tasting session...

Burgundy wines draw their originality and their classification from the soil from which they spring but their quality is also intimately linked to the climate of every year and the work done by the winegrower.
Jacky Rigaux, eulogist of Burgundy's terroirs, with the help of Henri Jayer's notes and memories and intimate knowledge of the fabulous collection of great wines of Maison Bouchard Père et fils and the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, recounts the enchanting saga of Burgundy's climates and a hundred years of vintages.
