Synopsis

Book by George Rosemary

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

George argues that before recent improvements in technology and an accompanying new generation of visionary winemakers, the wines of the South of France have deserved their relatively lesser reputation. After thorough research, covering the history of the area's winemaking from 6 B.C.E. to the present, and 16 visits to the region, George (The Wines of Chablis, etc.) now makes a convincing case for these wines. Her broad territory is Roussillon, Languedoc, Provence, and Corsica, and the book is divided accordingly. Within each region, the important wineries are covered in a narrative that is part travel writing and part wine criticism; there are also weather tables and vintage guides. Given the area's current popularity for tourists, this book is particularly timely. While a summary roundup of wineries for travelers might have been a useful addition, George has filled a niche in one big volume. Recommended for all good wine collections.
