In Defense of Bordeaux Wines (French Edition) by Jean-Luc Schilling, Jean-Paul Kauffmann, Jean Le Gall

"In Defense of Bordeaux Wines" is a committed work, born out of exasperation at the incessant and often unjustified criticism aimed at Bordeaux wines. For nearly two decades, these emblematic wines, associated with their prestigious châteaux, have been at the heart of a revolution where modernism and tabula rasa clash.

The authors, Jean-Luc Schilling, Jean-Paul Kauffmann, and Jean Le Gall, three connoisseurs of the wine world, denounce the manipulations and prejudices that now surround the image of Bordeaux.

Jean-Luc Schilling, a passionate reporter and author of "Immoderate Praise of Bordeaux Wine", brings his journalistic expertise. Jean-Paul Kauffmann, a recognized writer and former editor-in-chief of L'Amateur de Bordeaux, shares his experience and love for these exceptional wines. Finally, Jean Le Gall, a writer and editor, provides a precise and incisive pen to defend this heritage.

Through passionate and erudite pages, this book not only responds to criticism. It also celebrates the tireless work of the winemakers, the ancestral tradition of the Bordeaux terroir, and the timeless beauty of these wines that have conquered the world.

Each chapter reveals often hidden truths, little-known anecdotes, and deep reflections on the place of Bordeaux wine in our modern society.

Beyond defending a wine, it is an advocacy for a wine culture respectful of its traditions, but also open to reasoned innovation. The authors remind us that Bordeaux wine is not just a drink, but a living symbol of a rich history, centuries-old expertise, and a passion passed down from generation to generation.

This work is intended for both enlightened enthusiasts and curious novices. It invites readers to rediscover Bordeaux, far from stereotypes, and to appreciate each glass as an open window to an exceptional heritage.

An essential read to understand, love, and defend Bordeaux wine, today and for future generations.
