Detailed Description (max 21844 characters): When Wine Makes its Revolution by Mohamed Najim and Étienne Gingembre offers a fascinating insight into the metamorphosis of the French wine world. Since 1990, a true wine revolution has shaken up habits and traditions. In the past, the French often drank rustic reds and acidic whites, with little knowledge of grape varieties, crus, and cellars.
With the advent of this revolution, everything changed. A new generation of winemakers, trained in life sciences and biochemistry, took the helm. These younger, more traveled, and more female winemakers seized historical crus, exceptional terroirs, and forgotten aristocratic estates. They transformed proletarian or popular cuvées into high-quality wines.
The authors, Mohamed Najim and Étienne Gingembre, passionately and precisely recount this profound transformation. They show how a great wine is the result of one-third terroir and two-thirds human genius. Thanks to this new generation, France has regained its uniqueness with exceptional, gourmet, flavorful, and emotional wines.
This book also includes a guide to the top hundred French wine estates offering outstanding wines at reasonable prices, a valuable resource for any wine lover. Over 288 pages, the reader will discover how French wine culture has evolved to become a global reference, celebrating the intelligence and creativity of the men and women of wine.
