History of the great wine families of France | Collective

Preface: Human passions make and break the reputation of wines with much more immediate effectiveness than the inherent genius of their terroirs. Everywhere, each winemaker puts their heart and particularly a good part of their soul into the wine they produce. Producing wine is all about deep conviction, it's primarily the will of women and men. From the first vine stock selected and planted to the final uncorked bottle, there they are, thinking, acting, hoping, communicating, and marketing. Always working, often enthused, returning to the forefront each year. This is fortunate because the public, you and I, expect nothing less: wines that tell a true story and a real history, from the reflections of their color to the aromas of their bouquet, from the silkiness of their tannins to the depth of their finish. Serge Tchekov has long known these wine stories because he loves and meets those who imagine and write them. With his sensitivity and the precision of his brushstroke, he has chosen to show them to us on canvas, thus revealing through the face and character of these great winemakers the personality of their wines. Like me, you will savor his works for a long time, as they also reveal, above all, the unique and delightful truth of great wines.
