This aims to provide a detailed guide to the Chablis appellation, with a section on its history and geography, and a catalogue of the crus together with their characteristics and rating. Because just one vineyard is focussed on, the book is considered to be more in-depth and informative than a general guide. The book is organized into three sections. The first provides a survey and account of wine-growing within the appellation with maps, diagrams and photographs. The second section contains an alphabetical listing of every cru within the appellation, with a section of factual and statistical information for each, a graphic quality grading, a colour reproduction of the wine label, and a summary of the characteristics of its wines. The third section consists of an appendix which has a year-by-year assessment of each vintage since 1956, plus lists of growers and negociants with addresses.

Title on Saint-Emilion wines from Bernard Ginestet's series "Guide to the Vineyards of France"

Saint Emilion (Bernard Ginestet's Guide to the Vineyards of France)

LIVINGSTONE, CHURCHILL

In this authoritative series each principal area or appellation of France is covered by a separate volume. The wines of Margaux are arguably the most famous in the world. Renowned for their elegance, complexity and balance, they are perhaps the finest, though most discreet, of Bordeaux wines. While other areas produce wines with pronounced characteristics which are readily identifiable, Margaux is the epitome of refinement and subtlety. Hugh Johnson, the distinguished author and wine critic, describes the early volumes in the series in the Foreword: "The story starts with the physical and historical groundwork, including new geological maps in fascinating detail. The heart of the introduction is the gastronomic questions - what is the identity of the appellation? How do you recognize its wines? How do its citizens view them, use them, and marry them with local ingredients in local dishes? The repertoire of châteaux follows, leaving nothing out: a piece of research of inestimable value that goes far beyond any other document I know in its scope, even leaving aside the author's deep involvement with the his subject. This is not a book of tasting notes - rather the book that enables you to taste with discrimination; to know what it is you are tasting and to draw accurate conclusions. The single consistent conclusion that the author draws is the 'rapport qualitè-prix, or value for money, indicated by a row of glasses. The more full glasses, the higher his rating."
