Description
That wine has "legs" or "body" is known to all, but that it has "chew," that it "foxes," "terroirs," or is "empyreumatic"? A sensual wine language is revealed in this dictionary of tasting terms. From the 13th century to today, from "claret" to "bodybuilt," here is a journey through terroirs, trends, and eras. Wine calls for words. It encourages sharing the emotion it provides and commenting on it. The whole art of the taster, whether professional or simple enthusiast, is to know how to align the mouth that tastes with the one that speaks. "This sleek precipitate of typically vinous terms and expressions remains the basic reference for finding, and giving with precision, the words that tickle the tip of our tongues." —Le Figaro "A bedside book for wine lovers." —Le Monde
