Les vins de Provence | Boman Goran Translation: The wines of Provence | Boman Goran

Provence is the world leader in rosé wines, but is less well-known for its fantastic red and white wines. This is not a coffee table book, but a guide to the wonderful world of wine in one of the most beautiful regions of France. It is easy to read, richly illustrated, and filled with facts to help you plan a visit to a region where wine has been produced for 2600 years. The book includes the history of wine in Provence, details about the important terroirs and appellations, the grape varieties, vineyard work, vinification of white, red, and rosé wines, and the different characteristics of each. It covers a total of 57 producers and 340 wines, making it probably the most comprehensive book on wines in Provence today, and a perfect companion to help you find your favorite wines there. For over 20 years, the author, Göran Boman, has been a member of "Munskäkarna," the Swedish association for wine tasting and wine studies, and has passed their top-level exam equivalent to the grade of Sommelier.First published in Swedish: ....Everything is discussed.... must be classified as a Swedish reference work over the Provençal wine world. Lars Torstenson, former winemaker at Domaine Rabiega in Provence...a book packed with facts. Yet it is not heavy to read, on the contrary. UlfJansson, Editor of the magazine Munskiinken In short, the book contains most things that may be of interest to the Provence enthusiast. It is not just a book for rosé fans.
