The Wines of France

New Revised Edition
Clive Coates, M.W.
The most comprehensive and authoritative guide to all the wine producing areas in France with tastings from every single appellation and attention to the best growers in each region from Burgundy and Loire, the Rhone and Champagne, Alsace, the Jura and Savoie, Provance, Languedoc-Roussillon and of course Bordeaux.
A lively blend of background information, grape variety, viticulture, great names and producers and recommended vintages (through 1997). The often neglected good value wines of lesser vineyards are included.
Coates is now the recognized expert on French wines and his recent books on Bordeaux and Burgundy are current best sellers. This is the one book that covers ALL of France and is a recommended staple for Society of Wine Educator's and Master of Wine examinations.
