Chronicle of Alsatian viticulture in the 19th century | Muller

Author: Claude MullerClaude Muller, Ph.D., is considered one of the leading contemporary experts on Alsatian viticulture. Over a period of about fifteen years, Claude Muller accumulated countless documents from his research in the archives, focusing on the Alsatian vineyards: remarks on the quantity and quality of the harvest, climatic considerations, cultivation methods, grape varieties. Drawing from this impressive material, the author presents six volumes dedicated to the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries (2 volumes). Detailing each year one by one, the different works describe the characteristics of each vintage, from the early years of the century, where poor harvests accumulate, to the war years, dark years when only the vine thrives.Publisher: J.D.
