Book Description
This splendid field guide, which covers every vineyard in France, offers a wealth of information for travelers and oenophiles. Enhanced with maps and 135 stunning color photos. French Vineyards is the essential guide to each and every wine region of France, from the smallest plantings of Vin de Pays to the largest AOC vineyards. Drawing from years of extensive research, Michael Busselle presents a practical and accessible means of locating even the smallest vineyards. One can discover the complex, flowery taste of Pouilly-Fume, the deep red wines of Cahors, or the rare flavors of wines from small producers--the delicate Rose d'une Nuit, for example. The guide is complete with a definitive index of French grape varieties, a handy guide to wine characteristics, region-by-region directions to the leading vignerons, as well as detailed descriptions of the countryside, villages, chateaux, and local cuisine. Throughout, Busselle's stunning color photos celebrate the many pleasures of the French vineyard. Michael Busselle's previous books include The Wine Lover's Guide to France, Discovering the Villages of France, and France: The Four Seasons. 288 pp 6 1/2 x 11 135 color photos, 14 mapsBooks:
