Description
Provence is the rosé wine world leader, but less well-known for fantastic red and white wines. This is not a coffee table book, but a guide to the wonderful world of wine in one of the most beautiful regions of France. It is easy to read, richly illustrated and filled with facts to help you find your favourite wines or plan a visit to a region where they have been making wine for 2600 years. It includes the history of wine in Provence, facts about the all-important terroirs and appellations, the grape varieties, work in the vineyard, vinification of white, red and rosé wine and the different characteristics of each.
A total of 57 producers and 340 wines are covered, making this probably the most comprehensive book on wines in Provence today, and a perfect companion to help you find your favourite wines there.
For over 20 years the author, Göran Boman, has been a member of “Munskänkarna”, the Swedish association for wine tasting and wine studies, and has passed their top-level exam equivalent to the grade of Sommelier.
First published in Swedish:… Everything is discussed…. must be classified as a Swedish reference work over the Provençal wine world. Lars Torstenson, former winemaker at Domaine Rabiega in Provence... a book packed with facts. Yet it is not heavy to read, on the contrary. Ulf Jansson, Editor of the magazine Munskänken In short, the book contains most things that may be of interest to the Provence enthusiast. It is not a book just for the rosé fan.
