Le Montrachet (bilingual edition French/English) by Keiko Kato & Maika Masuko, Jean-Claude Wallerand

Le Montrachet (bilingual French/English edition) by Keiko Kato, Maika Masuko, and Jean-Claude Wallerand is a captivating work that takes you to the heart of one of the most prestigious wine-growing regions in Burgundy. This book, born from the passion of two Japanese women, Keiko Kato and Maika Masuko, for Montrachet, a mythical vineyard, offers a unique and personal look at this viticultural paradise.

During a stay in Burgundy, Keiko and Maika, both writers and photographers, were enchanted by the beauty and richness of the region, and particularly by Montrachet. This exceptional terroir was revealed to them by Claude Schneider, manager of the Château de Puligny-Montrachet, who was also the instigator of this literary and photographic project.

This book is an intimate exploration of Montrachet through the testimonies of more than twenty local producers. Keiko Kato and Maika Masuko gathered their impressions on tasting their wines, while immortalizing these vineyard artisans with stunning photographs, both in color and black and white. This sensitive and artistic approach brings new luster to this already luminous appellation.

The book is enriched by the contribution of Jean-Claude Wallerand, a renowned sommelier from Puligny-Montrachet, who brings his expertise and affection for Montrachet through his writings. His prose adds an additional depth to the work, echoing the passion of the winemakers for their terroir. The preface is signed by two emblematic figures: Georges Pertuiset, a great sommelier, and Claude Schneider.

With its 248 richly illustrated pages, this book is a true homage to Montrachet and those who bring it to life. It is a must-have for wine enthusiasts, Burgundy lovers, and for anyone who wishes to discover the very essence of this legendary terroir.
