What are the red and white wines of Burgundy? What cultivars are grown in this region? What is an "appellation contrôlée" ? Who are the "ice saints" ? What is the vine flower? What is "bouéchage" ? Why do growers celebrate Saint Vincent? What is phylloxera? What part did religion play in the history of viticulture? Is a winegrower a farmer, an engineer or a manager? Why are Burgundy wines so famous? What can be said about the wines of the New World?
Always eager to communicate his passion for wine, Claude Chapuis is a tremendous connoisseur of the wine world. In his chronicles, he tells the story of the vine from every possible angle, including the most unexpected ones: the birds, the wind, the tools, the monks, the Protestants, the philosophers, the media etc…
His book is a real delight. It is to be smelled, tasted and swallowed in small sips. Like an old Burgundy wine.
