Description

Atlas of Unusual Wines by Pierrick Bourgault, published by Jonglez, immerses you in the fascinating world of wines produced under extraordinary conditions. While the standardization of viticultural techniques seems inevitable in our globalized world, some winemakers defy conventions. They cultivate rare grape varieties and produce wines in unexpected, sometimes even forgotten regions.

This book offers an exploration of unique viticultural practices and heroic vineyards. Numerous examples from around the world illustrate this surprising diversity: from 15-meter-high vines in Italy and Portugal to the famous ice wines produced in Quebec. These wines tell stories, like that of the Wine of Peace, which combines more than 600 grape varieties from around the world.

You will also discover vineyards listed as UNESCO cultural heritage, showcasing ancestral and heroic agricultural practices. Among the most remarkable examples are the Gobi Desert vines, where climatic conditions are particularly extreme, or cuvées produced in Indonesia from continuous harvests.

The book also discusses ancient viticultural methods, with techniques such as the use of amphorae in Georgia to produce sparkling wines that can be tasted by disgorging them yourself. It highlights passionate winemakers who perpetuate ancestral know-how and contribute to the preservation of forgotten grape varieties.

The Atlas of Unusual Wines is aimed at both curious wine enthusiasts and professionals looking to expand their knowledge. This book is an invitation to travel, where each page transports you to a new terroir and a new discovery.

Some examples of wines and practices mentioned in the book:

  • Vines that listen to classical music to improve grape quality
  • A harvest conducted on December 31st
  • Exceptional cuvées from Indonesian wines
  • Amphora wines in Georgia
  • Ice wines from the vineyards of Quebec

With its 157 pages, the book is richly illustrated and documented, offering a comprehensive and captivating overview of unprecedented viticultural practices. It is an essential book for those who wish to discover extraordinary wines and understand the challenges faced by winemakers in remote regions and extreme conditions.
