Much has been written about Bordeaux wine. This small book, enhanced by the delicate watercolors of Pierre Chaveau, which take the reader from castles to vineyards, does not claim to add another work to the long list of those that have come before. Its ambition, and its richness, lies in presenting the wine lover with information that sheds light on their interest in Bordeaux wines. Nothing escapes the curiosity of Didier Ters when it comes to the Bordeaux vineyards and their wines! He explores the vineyards thoroughly, tastes and enthusiastically comments on the wines. "Life at the château", "A millenary vineyard", "About the terroir", "The diverse Bordeaux wines", "A well-ranked vineyard", among other short chapters, reveal a wealth of knowledge that his cheerful and elegant pen skillfully extracts the essence of. Praise for Bordeaux wine will reassure many readers: "There's no need to act like a cardinal in prayer when uncorking a bottle," or "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée: more than a label, it's a certificate of authenticity for the wine and a very useful reference for the consumer." Put that way, it's so much simpler!
