This beautifully written and photographed book takes us on an evocative journey through the appellations of Bordeaux. Discover the many and varied regions of Bordeaux from Margaux to St Émilion, from the Médoc to Graves. Savour the wines produced there, and understand how the climate, the soil and the people make the wines what they are. Visit the châteaux, villages and vineyards of Bordeaux and meet the men and women who turn baskets of grapes into bottles of wine that are among the most sought-after in the world. Along the way, Robert Joseph introduces us to figures who have shaped the history of Bordeaux. He also shares anecdotes about famous Bordeaux-lovers – from Samuel Pepys to Richard Nixon. Robert Joseph was wine correspondent of the Sunday Telegraph for 16 years. He is the founder of Wine Magazine in London and author of more than 20 wine books.
