Oenologist in the Century | Emile Peynaud

During the second half of the century, a true technological revolution took place, of which the great red wines of the world are now the heirs. This transformation is due to the Bordeaux school, and mainly to Émile Peynaud. A researcher, educator, man of the field, author of numerous scientific publications and general works - his book "Le goût du vin" is an unparalleled reference - Émile Peynaud fought on all fronts for a new oenology. Advisor to the greatest Bordeaux wines (Château Margaux, Lafite-Rothschild, La Mission Haut-Brion, Léoville Las Cases...), he also worked extensively abroad. Today, all the major wine regions in the world bear his mark and that of his many students. The great oenologist agreed to recount fifty years of his professional life in these interviews: an exciting adventure that must be read by all wine enthusiasts.
