The Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Vineyard (French Edition) by André Dartigues, Stéphane Granier

Dive into the heart of the historic Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh vineyard, a region shaped nearly 970 years ago by Benedictine monks. This exceptional work, created by André Dartigues and Stéphane Granier, offers a rare visual testimony, composed of 230 postcards and photographs carefully selected.

You will discover, like a pilgrim of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, the distinctive terroirs that make these unique wines renowned. The ancestral grape varieties, viticultural techniques, the evolution of equipment, and the influence of climatic conditions are described with passion.

Throughout the pages, the reader relives the historical anecdotes and significant events that contributed to the revival of this vineyard, particularly at the end of the 20th century. Between tradition and modernity, this work highlights the cultural and viticultural heritage passed down from generation to generation by supportive and passionate men.

In a world where the virtual image dominates, this book from the Mémoire en images collection is a truly moving testimony of an exceptional wine region, shaped by the perseverance and love of its winegrowers.
