Guide des vins zéro pesticides (French edition) by Evelyne Malnic

Discover The Guide to Pesticide-Free Wines, a unique work written by Evelyne Malnic and published by BBD Editions. This guide highlights a rigorous selection of 27 wines from 132 estates spread across all regions of France. All selected wines are certified organic AB or biodynamic Demeter or Biodyvin (or in the process of conversion), thus guaranteeing pesticide-free production.

A Dual Approach: Pleasure and Health

One of the most innovative aspects of this guide is its dual approach, combining taste pleasure and health safety. Each wine is presented from two complementary perspectives:

1. The pleasure of tasting: After all, wine is synonymous with pleasure. Each wine is tasted and commented on by a jury of professionals, with recommendations on food pairings and aging potential.
2. The health passport: For each wine, precise information on sulfite levels, alcohol content, calorie count, sugar quantity, yeasts, and additives is provided. This information allows consumers to make informed choices based on their health preferences and needs.

Wine Classification

The wines are classified into five categories, making it easy for readers to find the wine that meets their expectations:

• Simple and straightforward wine
• Good wine
• Very good wine
• Excellent wine
• Favorite wine

Additional Content

The guide is not limited to a simple list of wines. It also offers a series of enriching content:

• Preface by Éric Morain: A plea for necessary wine labeling.
