Description

The Volume III of the wine bible by Pierre Galet, reissued and entirely updated, offers a tour of France's vineyards. This volume, divided into two parts, provides an overview of the different wine regions of France. Volume 1 focuses on the following regions: Mediterranean, Rhône-Alpes, Burgundy, Franche-Comté, and Alsace-Lorraine. This division allows for a better understanding of the local viticultural specifics and the grape varieties that are cultivated there.

The first part of the work adopts a historical perspective, detailing the birth of the French vineyard from the Roman era. The author examines the evolution of wine consumption, industrial uses, as well as the exports and imports of wines and spirits through the centuries, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries. A chapter is also dedicated to the wine legislation, with an analysis of the Wine Statute and the decrees issued by the National Institute of Appellations of Origin.

The second part focuses on the analysis of wine productions, region by region. Each department is thoroughly studied with a description of the climates, vineyards, and grape varieties, highlighting their evolution throughout the 20th century. The book also provides detailed accounts of the appellations of origin, the delimited wines of superior quality, as well as the local wines and table wines.

A true reference, this work is the only one to offer exhaustive information, region by region, on the vineyards of France. It is indispensable for industry professionals: oenologists, technicians, producers, traders, buyers, sommeliers, restaurateurs, but also for students and wine enthusiasts.
