Bordeaux, Land of Legend is much more than just a book: it is an immersion into the very soul of the Bordeaux vineyard, a key region in the world's wine geography. Signed by Michel Dovaz, a renowned oenologist and demanding writer, the book stands as a reference for understanding the genesis and excellence of Bordeaux wine.

From the first pages, the reader is invited to travel through centuries, from the geological formation of Bordeaux soil to the peak of the great classified growths. Dovaz passionately and precisely narrates how this unique land gave birth to legendary wines, sought after on all continents.

The book presents a captivating visit to the châteaux of Bordeaux, illustrated with sumptuous photographs and archival documents. Since the 17th century, these buildings symbolize the alliance of winemaking expertise and architectural elegance.

The second part of the book is dedicated to a detailed catalog of 125 châteaux, each accompanied by tasting notes on the recent vintages. An encyclopedic and sensitive approach that will appeal to both collectors and curious enthusiasts.

Michel Dovaz summarizes the importance of this region with an emblematic quote:

"Every second, twenty-four hours a day, somewhere in the world, ten bottles of Bordeaux are opened."

A luxury illustrated book, both a collectible item and a source of knowledge, ideal to give as a gift or to treat oneself.
