This is the wine book for those who want an inside look at the world's most prestigious wines and the people who make them. The Great Wine Book focuses exclusively and in detail on the world's supreme wines from Petrus to Yquem; from Ridge to Chateau St. Jean; from Tignanello to Vega Sicilia. It is a celebration of greatness, based on Jancis Robinson's immense knowledge and wide-ranging research into thirtyfive of the world's most exciting wine properties in France, the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia.
Jancis Robinson has personally visited each property, and in every instance she has taken an in-depth look at the wines and their creators. Every page is filled with intriguing facts that reveal the methods and philosophies that impart to the greatest wines their individual and extraordinary qualities, as Jancis Robinson casts an informed and exacting eye over vineyards, caves, and chateaux. The techniques, the eccentricities, and the secrets of the world's foremost vintners are described with Jancis Robinson's verve, wit, and authoritative insight.
For Jancis Robinson believes that what gives great wine its character, above all, is the personality of its maker. From the French peasant farmer who positively discourages visitors from approaching his remote estate to the Californian cosmopolite with wine-making friends all over the world each and every one has something fascinating to disclose about his (or her) wine and what makes it extraordinary. To all of her observations, Jancis Robinson adds incisive tasting notes on the finest vintages from each property. Exquisitely illustrated with over 250 specially commissioned full-colour photographs, as well as maps, charts and wine labels, this book is as impressively elegant as it is enchanting. The Great Wine Book is an invaluable reference source for wine professionals and collectors, a lively adventure for devotees of the finest vintages, and delightfully informative reading for anyone and everyone who loves wine.
