Product Description

Along the famous West Bank of the Gironde estuary in France's Bordeaux are some of the most prestigious wineries in the world: Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, Cos-d-Estournel, and others. The authors take us on a tour of the chateaux, the grand buildings that serve as the headquarters of the winery (and often the dwelling place of its owners).

5.0 out of 5 stars A revealing, wonderful guide for the traveling connoisseur., January 4, 2001

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This wine-lover's guide to a beautiful wine-growing region of France, the Medoc, is a 'must' for any enthusiast of French countryside and wines. It provides a fine set of full-page photos by Peter Knaup as he travels from one chateaux to another, covering the wines and setting of over thirty estates. A revealing, wonderful guide for the traveling connoisseur.
