Red Wines of Bordeaux - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

France is blessed with an abundance of good wines. Some of them are classics and deservedly expensive, while other, humbler wines can also be the products of careful cultivation and experienced vinification. Each region, however, produces wines with their own, distinctive characteristics. This series of guides explains how the differences of soil, grape variety and climate - and the winemakers themselves - affect the production of good wine. It explores the best of what each region has to offer.
Bordeaux is home to some of the greatest red wines of all: the names Margaux, Stjulien, Pauillac, StEmilion and Pomerol have long been famous. There are many other delightful red wines to be found in the region, however, which are often much easier on the purse. This guide begins with an introduction to the region and its red wines, examining the grape varieties from which they are made and discussing methods of cultivation and vinification. A second section serves as an invaluable buyer s guide, with information on reading the label and what to expect within each price range. Finally, a journey through the vineyards provides a complete survey of the region, village by village and chateau by chateau, with advice on the best producers within each appellation.
With its detailed maps and evocative full-colour photographs, The Red Wines of Bordeaux is an essential companion for any wine enthusiast about to explore these wonderful wines. Whether you are buying from your local wine merchant or supermarket, or planning a trip to the region itself, this will prove to be your perfect guide.
