Description

Wine and Place: A Terroir Reader is an indispensable anthology for anyone passionate about wine and curious to understand the complexity of terroir, this concept as fascinating as it is debated in the wine world.

What is the terroir ?Can it really be expressed in a wine? Is it a tangible reality or a romantic myth? To answer these questions, the editors Tim Patterson and John Buechsenstein gathered a variety of texts from scientists, , winegrowers, , reviews, and Writers, offering a 360° view of what "the expression of a place" means in a wine.

Far from imposing a truth, the book invites reflection. It contains analyses on the Pedoclimatic factors, debates on the Natural winemaking or interventionist winemaking, as well as testimonials from winegrowers attached to their land, their climate, and their culture.

The book is illustrated with cards, of graphs and of a foreword signed by critic Patrick J. Comiskey, who recalls that the terroir cannot be reduced to a single definition but deserves to be approached with nuance.

This book by 344 pages, published by theUniversity of California Press, establishes itself as an essential reference in the bibliography of knowledgeable enthusiasts and wine professionals. It offers an intellectual and sensory reading, ideal for enriching one's understanding of one of the foundations of global wine culture.
