Wines of France: A Guide to 500 Leading Vineyards

A good read about the vineyards of France but not much new insight.

Fantastic reference literature with a perfect level of detail for an introductory text.

An up-to-date and very comprehensive guide to French wineries and wine making. Recommended.

As comprehensive a reference source and compendium of information of oenology as there is on the planet.

Great wine book

Worth Every Penny. A Must Read For WSET Diploma Students

Buying books about wine is a bit like buying wine. At one time I didn't want to spend more than a fiver on a bottle or on a book . But after the encyclopaedias and beginners guides have given you the superficial overview, and you want something with serious depth, Lewin 's master work is what you need. Lewin drills down deep, cites discussions with named vignerons on their differing views, superb insights into the forces behind French winemaking today, at the producer level. Lewin has all the facts and figures at the fingertips, and the sheer concentration on France alone means no pages wasted on topics of no interest, like the up and coming wines of Uruguay and East Timor. An understanding of the Wines of France in expert detail, a lifetime of accumulated knowledge, is yours for no more than the price of one good bottle of wine. Essential, and a bargain.
