Synopsis

This groundbreaking and authoritative book on French wine draws on painstaking research by leading wine writer Andrew Jefford, who has travelled extensively in each of France's fourteen wine regions to investigate the personalities and producers who have masterminded the resurgence of the French wine industry. Producer listings are a significant and important feature of the book as Jefford covers the background of those producers he feels most worthy of mention for their contribution to the world of wine and their own individual wines. There is up-to-the-minute research on terroir and its effect on the wines of each region, and how accurately it is reflected by the controversial appellation control system.
