Description

Explore the captivating history of the AOC Touraine, one of the flagship appellations of the vineyard of the Loire Valley, in this scholarly and fascinating work signed Nicolas Raduget.

Through this well-documented coffee table book, the author retraces for the first time theGeneral history of the wines of Touraine by relying on unpublished sources. It highlights the winegrowers who, from Antiquity to today, contribute to the richness of this emblematic designation.

TheAOC Touraine, officially recognized on December 24, 1939, under the name of "Coteaux de Touraine", today extends over more than 143 municipalities distributed among the departments of Indre-et-Loire and of the Loir-et-Cher. It covers nearly 5,000 hectares of vineyards and brings together more than 500 actors in the wine industry.

In its pages, the book takes you through the centuries, from the first Gallo-Roman traces of the vine up to contemporary issues. It discusses traditions, technical evolutions, struggles, successes, as well as the strong relationships between humans, the vine, and the land.

It is a heritage dive where each grape variety – sauvignon, côt, gamay, chenin… – is a living heritage, a testament to the diversity and vitality of this wine-producing region.

This book is not only intended for wine professionals or to the enlightened amateurs, but to anyone curious to understand the cultural, economic, and historical role of wine in Touraine.

With a rich iconography, a accessible narration and a rigorous approach, this viticultural history book becomes a reference for anyone interested in the world of wine and in the identity of a terroir.
