Bordeaux Chateaux: A History of the Grands Crus Classes 1855-2005 by Franck Ferrand |
Editorial Reviews
"One of the most influential wine books of all time" (Lawrence Osborne, The Accidental Connoisseur)
Bordeaux and Its Wines, now in its seventeenth edition, is the ultimate book on the most legendary of all wine regions. Since 1846, "the classic reference work on Bordeaux wines" (Jancis Robinson, The Oxford Companion to Wine) has guided wine connoisseurs, wine professionals, and vineyard investors through this complex region, providing detailed information on every one of its 1,800 vineyards, more than 14,500 wine brands, and 200 wine merchants. No other title comes close to the comprehensive information on Bordeaux wines and wineries presented in this book. While 'Feret', as it is colloquially known, is used by professionals for its comprehensive treatment of all facets of the Bordeaux wine region and industry, there is also information on the art of selecting, drinking and storing Bordeaux.
Bordeaux and Its Wines is indispensable for the serious wine enthusiast.

BORDEAUX AND ITS WINES® - XVIIth ÉDITION
This prestigious book, like a fine wine polished by time and accumulated experience, is part dream and part emotion. A veritable invitation to awaken the senses, it distinguishes the giver as much as the person who receives it.
IN THE SERVICE OF BORDEAUX WINE FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY-AND-A-HALF
1845: First English edition of Charles Cocks' book.
1850: First French edition. In 1868, Bordeaux and Its Wines becomes a reference work which comes under the direction of Edouard Féret. With time, users baptize the book the "Féret".
2004: A practically perfect comprehensiveness, an extensive updating (more than 200,000 changes among the half-million details of the last English edition) and an enlarged scope of the information presented make this work indispensable for understanding the Bordeaux vineyard.
THE MOST COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BORDEAUX WINE
More than 50 researchers have edited the pages on basic knowledge to give the reader indispensable information necessary to understand Bordeaux wine.
