About this Item

82x37cm. Printed in colours, indicating the regions and quality of the wine produced. Excellent condition. The wine takes its name from the historical Province of Beaujolais, a wine-producing region. It is located north of Lyon, and covers parts of the north of the Rhône département of the Rhône-Alpes region and southern areas of the Saône-et-Loire département of Burgundy. While administratively considered part of the Burgundy wine region, the climate is closer to the Rhône and the wine is sufficiently individual in character to be considered separately from Burgundy and Rhône. 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 Perfect for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike, these unique maps serve as a valuable historical reference for understanding the geography and tradition of French wine production.
