A propos de cet article

56x37cm. Printed in colours. Excellent condition. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these are the wines from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former is focused (at the top level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter pair on on Merlot. The official Bordeaux viticultural region stretches for 130 kilometers (80 miles) inland from the Atlantic coast. 111,000 hectares (274,000 acres) of vineyards were recorded in 2018, a figure which had remained largely consistent over the previous decade. The French wine maps by Louis Larmat from the Burgundy region of France, dating back to the 1940s, offer a unique insight into the wine culture of the region. These vintage original lithograph wine maps provide a detailed representation of the Bourgogne region, showcasing the cartographer's expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. The smallest vineyards are often named and the class of the wine produced is indicated. Perfect for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike, these unique maps serve as a valuable historical reference for understanding the geography and tradition of French wine production.
