Master of Wine Clive Coates profiles the leading chateaux and assesses their top red and white wines. 150 drawings.

From the Inside Flap
"Clive Coates is a thinker as well as a writer and taster of distinction. . . . For me he is indispensable reading."--Hugh Johnson

4.0 out of 5 stars For SERIOUS collectors of Bordeaux, February 11, 1997
By A Customer
This thorough if narrowly focused study by a major British wine critic covers the ground with thoroughness and dedicated skill. Not for beginners, it's a requirement if you're getting seriously into collecting Bordeaux

4.0 out of 5 stars Top quality reference, March 10, 2003
By Michael Casey "Michael" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This top quality reference, now getting a bit dated, provides one of the most thorough and detailed examinations of the Bordeaux region ever written. Though not as exciting to read as Markham's "1855" it is much more informative than Parker's "Bordeaux." Any serious collection of wine histories should include this book. I am hopeful that a newer edition will be arriving soon.
