The vineyards of the Near East do not often receive special attention, and those of Lebanon even less so. This book, written by Jean-Pierre Bel and published by Books on Demand, aims to fill this gap by focusing on the vineyard areas of the Bekaa, a large interior plain of this state.
The vine has existed there for a very long time, but the revival of the Lebanese vineyard occurred after the mid-19th century under the impetus of the Jesuit Fathers. Throughout the 20th century, it only experienced minimal changes.
It is after the end of the civil war in 1990 that a true revolution in production methods took place, with a restructuring of planted areas accompanied by a territorial reorganization.
This study uses the vineyard landscapes created by the growers as a guiding thread, visual elements that show the genesis of an expanding vineyard.
