Throughout the river, castles and vineyards alternate; thus the Valley of the Kings offers those who sail up or down its course on barges a complete range of wines: reds, whites, rosés, sparkling, dry, and sweet. Rabelais' confreres sing with him the sweetness of life and make Chinon resound at the echo close. It is in this valley inscribed on the World Heritage list that the French Institute of Taste was created, where, under the guidance of Jacques Puisais, children are initiated into the realms of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. In this land, a great chef officiates, harmonizing refined dishes with Vouvray from unfindable vintages.
"The wine route," a vibrant worldwide encyclopedia of wines. The author, Robert Tinlot, has traveled through the most beautiful vineyards in the world, met a large number of men and women in love with their terroirs, tasted the most prestigious or astonishing wines.
He shares his experience, his enthusiasm with you, offering intense moments of conviviality. He gives a voice to those who, worldwide, on all five continents, share the same passion and know how to establish that precious connection between man and his land. They express it through wine, a drink that is both mythical, festive, and daily.
