– – Winner to be announced in April 2007 – –
Oz Clarke's Bordeaux covers each of Bordeaux's sub-regions in detail – their history, geography, climate, soils and grape varieties. All are brought to life with Oz's evocative descriptions and personal anecdotes amassed over many years and many visits; stunning photographs and six panoramic maps which give a bird's-eye-view of Bordeaux's top wine regions make the book a sumptuous visual treat as well. Over 300 of Bordeaux's most important châteaux are given detailed profiles and hundreds of others are recommended and described, with Oz's tasting notes and best vintage recommendations throughout.
