Some of the most exciting developments in French wine today are to be witnessed outside the classic regions of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne. This concise guide explores the exciting wines from "New World" France: Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, the Southwest, Savoie and Jura and highlights the rich variety, and high quality, to be found across this great wine-growing nation. Covering classics such as Vouvray and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, to characterful country wines, it is essential reading for all French wine enthusiasts.
The book covers over 600 wine producers and is divided by region. Each section starts with a summary of the region and the wine styles to be found there. Useful locator maps are also included for quick, easy reference. The wine producers are then grouped alphabetically, with concise but informative profiles on where to find them, their approach to winemaking, the wines themselves (including top recommendations), and visiting hours.
