Description

Vintages: The Great Years, from 1900 to the Present (french edition), written by Michel Dovaz and published by Assouline, is an essential reference for lovers of fine wines and knowledgeable oenophiles. This richly documented and illustrated work offers an in-depth analysis of the exceptional wines that have marked the global viticultural history from 1900 to the present day.

In the first part of this book, the author explores the place of fine wines in various vineyards around the world. He considers the essential factors that influence the quality of vintages: climate, soil, viticultural techniques, and the decisive role of the people who, over the decades, have shaped these exceptional wines. The emergence of new production regions such as Argentina, Australia, California, Chile, and New Zealand is also discussed, reflecting the constant evolution of the viticultural world.

In the second part, Michel Dovaz recounts the significant events from the 20th century to the present, establishing a list of the great vintages of this period. These rare wines, which have reached an unparalleled level of excellence, are meticulously presented, allowing the reader to understand why these vintages have become benchmarks worldwide.

The book, updated in 2009 after the success of its first edition in 1999 (titled "Wines of the Century"), introduces new chapters that enrich this grand saga of excellence. The recent emergence of complex and refined wines from new regions of the world has disrupted traditional perceptions and continues to influence the global wine market. Thus, this book offers an unprecedented and valuable insight into the evolution of the wine world and the emergence of a new generation of oenophiles.

In conclusion, Vintages: The Great Years, from 1900 to the Present is an essential work for anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge of fine wines and their historical and cultural impact.
