A comprehensive guide on Bordeaux covering not only the great chateaux, but also a vast number of other wine producers, as well as the history of the region. The author - who has been a Master of Wine since 1962 - was awarded the Andre Simon Memorial Prize for the first edition of this book.
For wine lovers contemplating a trip to Bordeaux—or just trying to decide on a great bottle of this popular red—this fully revised and updated edition of David Peppercorn’s popular guide to the region will provide all the help needed. Comprehensive and authoritative, it includes the area’s best wines and chateaux—more than 1,000 in total. Divided into the region’s appellations, the directory then goes in an easy to follow A-to-Z format within each region. Star ratings point out quality recommendations, symbols show which wines are drinking well now and which will keep, and a “v” indicates those wines that offer particularly good value for the money.
