By unveiling for each of them the key features of their history, the symbolic places and keys of the château, the "manufacturing secrets", and above all, the "absolute" taste of each wine: the great style constants over the centuries. Each of these very great wines is a character, a symbol, a myth. Ausone, the Black Grail. Cheval Blanc, the Poet of Dreams. Haut-Brion, the Spirit of Enlightenment. Latour, the Perfect Knight. Lafite, the Quest for the Absolute. Margaux, the Goddess of Dreams. Mouton, the Flamboyant Artist. Petrus, The Colossus of Pleasure. And Yquem, the Grail of Light...ED: 1855 (2006), 21x25 cm, 300 pages, paperback.
