THE WINES OF BURGUNDY

Pierre Poupon & Pierre Forgeot

Univ. France 1983.

This soft cover book offers to the vast public a precise, practical and complete study of the vineyards and wines of one of the most famous of French viticultural regions. It is the work of the Burgundians of the old school: Pierre Poupon and Pierre Forgeot. The life and culture of the vine, vinification, ageing of wine, the characteristics of the appellations of origin, commercial practices, the art of drinking, the selection of wine, vinous activities; in fact all that concerns the wines produced in Burgundy, has been carefully described by its authors who have thus composed a living biography of the wines of Burgundy from their birth to their consumption.

Apart from some light cover creases the book is in good condition.
