Mitchell Beazley Wine Guide to the Wines of Bordeaux

Comprehensive and authoritative, Wines of Bordeaux provides essential information for wine enthusiasts traveling to the region or simply looking for advice on buying wines from this classic area.
An introductory section explains the region and its wines, and unravels the complex classification system. How Bordeaux wines are made, and the importance of vintages is explained, revealing what makes a particular year`s wine distinct.

A concise A-Z of some 1,000 chateaux is cross-referenced to a detailed producer profile section that describes each appellation and the chateaux within them. The most illustrious properties can all be found here but also the lesser-known names that are worth seeking out.
