Bergerac and its wines | Marc Henry Lemay

Author: Marc-Henry Lemay The previous edition on the Bergerac vineyard dates back to 1903. This second edition is therefore radically different and updated, but it retains the same spirit as the "Féret". "Bergerac and its Wines" presents a classification of the vintages in each commune, describing the nine appellations of this region: Bergerac and Côtes de Bergerac, Rosette and Pécharmant, Monbazillac, Saussignac, Montravel, Haut Montravel and Côtes de Montravel. The originality of the work lies in an objective classification of the vintages and an exhaustive approach since this edition contains more than 500 pages, 1130 names of owners, 460 vintages and brands. More than 265 estates are thus the subject of detailed descriptions and illustrations. The book also provides all the information concerning: - the history of wine production and its regulations. - the choice of a wine, its conservation and tasting, the pairing of wines and dishes... - viticultural techniques: vine cultivation, grape varieties, harvesting... - professionals: groups, organizations... - the presentation and study of the wine regions of Bergerac. An indispensable tool for understanding the heritage and art of living of Gascony, it will reveal to the reader all the viticultural secrets of the homeland of Cyrano.
