La dégustation Géo Sensorielle (French edition) by Jacky Rigaux

Geo-Sensory Tasting (French edition) is a work by Jacky Rigaux that revisits the fundamentals of the art of tasting, long neglected by the modern wine industry. The geo-sensory approach emphasizes the tactile experience in the mouth, an aspect often forgotten in the traditional analytical methods that dominate today.

In this book, Rigaux proposes a return to millennial tasting, the kind that was done with a "tastevin" and valued elements like the texture, consistency, softness, and minerality of the wine. Unlike modern sensory tasting, which simplifies wine analysis by focusing on its technical aspects and turning it into an agro-food product, geo-sensory tasting favors a more authentic approach that allows for tasting the wine rather than testing it, savoring it rather than simply consuming it.

This new edition, published by Terre en Vues and prefaced by Gérard Margeon, brings this traditional tasting method back to the forefront. It is aimed at both wine professionals and enlightened amateurs who seek to deepen their understanding of terroir wines. Rigaux emphasizes the importance of place and terroir in wine appreciation, a dimension often obscured by the standardization of varietal and branded wines.

With only 70 pages, this concise but information-rich book invites readers to rediscover the art of tasting from a new perspective. Readers will find deep reflections on how place wines are both a cultural product and a reflection of their terroir, offering an unparalleled tasting experience.
