Le Dictionnaire des Vins de France A.O.C (French edition): Discovering the A.O.C, Tasting, Aging, and Serving

The world of wine in France is striking in its diversity and richness. Some wine names are familiar such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Côtes-du-Rhône, or Sancerre. But what about names like Palette, Château-Chalon, Bouzeron, Marcillac? This exhaustive work allows you to discover prestigious wines, terroir wines, wines of ancient notoriety, as well as the most recent appellations.

The Dictionary of French A.O.C Wines by Hachette Pratique presents over 300 appellations, offering a comprehensive and richly illustrated overview of French wines. You will find all the controlled designation of origin appellations methodically presented: region, wine colors, area, production volume, grape varieties, and soil nature, wine description, and classifications. A mini-atlas of vineyards, a glossary of wine and grape varieties, a panorama of French terroirs, as well as tips for reading the label, complete this encyclopedic guide.

Learn to identify the characteristics of each appellation according to the three stages of professional tasting: the eye, the nose, the mouth. For each appellation, the aging potential, matching dishes, and ideal serving temperature are also indicated.
