Description

From the Air of the Times (French edition): Dive into a fascinating journey through 100 years of Bordeaux vineyard history with Volume 2 of the Tastet & Lawton archives, covering the period from 1945 to 2000. This work, written by Erik Samazeuilh, Daniel Lawton, and Philippe Roudié, offers a unique exploration of the evolution of viticulture, climatic conditions, and market fluctuations.
