Volume 1, The Crisis - Chronicle of Alsace viticulture in the 20th century | Muller, Ancel

Claude Muller, a Ph.D. in literature, is considered one of the leading contemporary experts on Alsatian viticulture. Over a period of about fifteen years, Claude Muller gathered countless documents during his research in the archives, covering various aspects of Alsatian vineyards: remarks on the quantity and quality of the harvest, climatic considerations, cultivation methods, grape varieties. Drawing from this impressive material, the author has published six volumes dedicated to the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries (2 volumes). Each volume delves into the characteristics of each vintage, from the early years of the century where poor harvests accumulate to the war years, dark times when only the vineyard thrives.
