Les appellations viticoles : leur histoire, leur avenir (French edition)

Dive into the fascinating world of viticultural appellations through this essential work that explores both their history and their future. Written under the direction of Patrick Arnaud, Michel Blanc, and Marie-Claude Pichery, this book gathers the contributions of the speakers who participated in the symposium on Saturday, June 30, 2018, in Avignon, organized as part of the International Days of Enlightened Wine Lovers.

This symposium, titled "The appellation is dead, Long live the appellation", provided rich and varied reflections on the role and evolution of AOC (Appellations of Controlled Origin), as we celebrated the 80th anniversary of the first AOCs, including that of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Additionally, this book includes the proceedings of the 2016 symposium, also held in Avignon, which marked the 80th anniversary of the first AOCs. These are unique moments of exchange between experts, producers, and enlightened amateurs, offering a valuable perspective on the future of viticultural appellations.

The book is also enriched by the International Challenge of Oenophile Clubs held in Châteauneuf-du-Pape on July 11, 2018. This annual challenge is a key moment for wine lovers, where teams from around the world compete on intricate questions concerning oenology and appellations. Here, you will find all the answers to the tests as well as the complete ranking of the challenge, thus offering a comprehensive overview of current viticultural knowledge.

Viticultural appellations are more than just labels; they are a reflection of tradition, expertise, and a passion for wine. This book invites you to discover this cultural and technical richness through the eyes of those who shape it.
