Wines from Auvergne and the Massif Central | Didier Desert, Joel Damasse

This work, with a preface by Olivier Poussier, the world's best sommelier in 2000, introduces you to the lesser-known flavors of the wines from Auvergne and the Massif Central. Through the presentation of appellations, profiles of winemakers, and a commitment to the development of organic viticulture in the region, Didier Desert takes us into the demanding yet friendly intimacy of independent winemakers, allowing us to savor all the elements: soils, grape varieties, climates, seasons. The detailed and delightful review is impressively served, complemented by the informed and appreciative eye of Joël Damase, who delights us with his photos. This book is meant to be enjoyed with audacity and enthusiasm to decidedly change one's perspective on a heritage and gustatory resource that is still too unknown. Didier Desert, head of the restaurant "l'Ambassade d'Auvergne" in Paris, is a specialist in the gastronomy and wines of central France. With his expertise, he aims to showcase the vineyards and wines of Auvergne and the Massif Central. A professional photographer since 1989, Joël Damase has beautifully illustrated this book with unique photos.
