Bordeaux, Land of Legend | Michel Dovaz

The Bordeaux region ranks among the most well-known wine-producing areas in the world, and in this tour of Bordeaux châteaux, oenology specialist Michel Dovaz recounts the history of this legendary region, which dates back to the formation of the Earth and boasts a unique soil found nowhere else in France. This beautifully illustrated book presents the fascinating history of the numerous châteaux that have been continuously operational since the 17th century, along with a very comprehensive catalog of wines from one hundred and twenty-five châteaux, complete with tasting notes for recent vintages. "Every second, twenty-four hours a day, somewhere in the world, ten bottles of Bordeaux are uncorked." - Michel Dovaz
