Refreshingly witty and readable guide to the world's most famous wine region. Every producer in the world with ambitions to make great red wine still looks to Bordeaux for inspiration and the region is brought to life by Oz with his evocative descriptions and personal anecdotes, accompanied by stunning photographs and maps.
'A well-planned, well-executed, approachable book packed with information and illustrations'
Joanna Simon, The Sunday Times
'There is no better introduction to the world's most dazzling wine region'
Decanter Magazine
‘Oz has returned to his first love, Bordeaux, embraced it with a giant hug and made it his own. Written in a breezy style, the book manages to discuss terroir and winemaking in a comprehensible yet authoritative way. Oz knows whereof he speaks. Plenty of attention is given to the prestigious wines of Bordeaux, but he rightly singles out the forgotten regions that have raised their game and now make delicious and affordable wines. Lavishly illustrated, even if often with photos of our hero, and well designed, there is no better introduction to the world’s most dazzling wine region.’
Decanter Magazine
‘This is an absolute treasure-trove for wine buffs, and a must for any trip to Bordeaux.’
The Good Book Guide
‘One of the most enjoyable wine books so far this year has been Oz Clarke's Bordeaux’
