The Rediscovered Taste of Bordeaux Wine (French Edition) by Jean Rosen & Jacky Rigaux

"The Rediscovered Taste of Bordeaux Wine", written by Jean Rosen and Jacky Rigaux, with a preface by Stéphane Derenoncourt, is a celebration of the authenticity of Bordeaux wines. This book explores the quest of Loïc Pasquet, a winemaker determined to restore these wines to their original taste, as it existed before the phylloxera disaster.

In a context of standardization and increasing industrialization of wine, Loïc Pasquet chooses to resist by relying on methods that respect the terroir. He replants forgotten grape varieties, abandons the use of rootstocks, and cultivates his vines in permaculture. Through these bold choices, he manages to recreate a wine imbued with the taste of the place, rich in its uniqueness and history.
