Voguent les Vins (French edition): A Bordeaux Story By Sonia Moumen, Richard Coconnier & Philippe Prévôt

Voguent les Vins, an essential work for wine and history enthusiasts, invites you to discover the extraordinary saga of Bordeaux wines. For centuries, these prestigious vintages have sailed on rivers, seas, and oceans, conquering palates worldwide. But this global success would never have happened without the strategic importance of the port of Bordeaux, a true bridge between the hinterland and the Atlantic.

This book, written by Sonia Moumen, Richard Coconnier, and Philippe Prévôt, tells 2,000 years of history blending texts, images, portraits, and interviews. It highlights the political and strategic stakes, the religious demands, the territorial dynamics, and the economic privileges that have shaped this unique region. Through its pages, you will also discover the great French figures, European dynasties, as well as the winemakers, merchants, and traders who contributed to the rise of Bordeaux wines.

Highlights of the Book:

• A dive into the glorious and epic periods of Bordeaux, as well as its troubled moments and violent oppositions.
• An in-depth analysis of the interactions between wine and the port, drivers of the region's economic and cultural development.
• An exceptional iconographic richness that illustrates this fascinating history.

Bordeaux is thus described as a true "world city", well before the advent of modern globalization. This book is an invitation to travel through time, exploring the successes, challenges, and setbacks that have shaped the unique identity of Bordeaux wines.
