About the Book: From two-time James Beard Award winner Jon Bonné, this is the first definitive guide to contemporary French Wines and producers. A comprehensive and authoritative resourse that spans two full books, The New French Wine takes readers on a region-by-region tour of France, featuring hundreds of contemporary French wines and producers, accompanied by evocative photography and illustrated mapps, as well as the incisive narrative and compelling storytelling that has earned Bonné accolades and legions of fans in the wine world.
Packaged in a deluxe slip case and built upon years of research, The New French Wine is a one-of-a-kind exploration of the world's most popular wine region. First, examing the land through a thoroughly-reported overview of the regions - of the soil, growing conditions, distinctive traditions, contemporary changes, and products particular to each area. Then turn to the second book, an extensive reference guide to the producers and their wines, similarly detailed by region. From Burgundy to Bordeaux and everywhere in between, this handsome two-book boxed set is sure to be the resourse on what modern French wine has come to mean for decades to come.
