Winemakers of Bordeaux (French edition): a gallery of portraits in texts and photos by Marie-Laurence Prince Doutreloux

In "Vignerons de Bordeaux", Marie-Laurence Prince Doutreloux and Marc de Tienda offer us a fascinating dive into the world of Bordeaux winemakers. This book presents 22 portraits of winemakers who have turned their passion for wine into a true life's work. Each has their own unique story, journey, challenges, and successes, whether in large, famous estates like Château Smith Haut-Lafitte or in more discreet operations.

Through evocative texts and unpublished photos, this work takes you to meet these creators of aromas and flavors. Among them are iconic figures like Jean-Michel Cazes of Château Lynch-Bages and promising newcomers like Patricia and Arnaud Benoit de Nyvenheim of Château Gree-Laroque. You will discover their daily lives, challenges, and visions of the profession.

This book is more than a collection of portrait of winemakers. It is a celebration of the eclecticism of the Bordeaux vineyards, often reduced to a simple "Bordeaux image". The texts by Marie-Laurence Prince Doutreloux and the photos by Marc de Tienda highlight the diversity and human richness behind each bottle.

Winemaker portraits included:

• Nicola Allison, Château du Seuil, in Cérons
• Jean-Pierre Amoreau, Château Le Puy, in Saint-Cibard
• Florence and Daniel Cathiard, Château Smith Haut-Lafitte, in Martillac
• Jean-Michel Cazes, Château Lynch-Bages, in Pauillac
• Marie-Hélène Lévêque, Château de Chantegrive, in Podensac
• Bernard Magrez, Château Pape-Clément, in Pessac
• And many others...

Each chapter is an invitation to discover not only the vineyards but especially the people who bring them to life. This book pays tribute to the men and women who, through their passion and dedication, shape the wine heritage of Bordeaux.
