Known traditionally for its dramatic landscapes, the South of France is becoming one of the most vibrant and exciting of French vineyard areas. Every key wine area is covered from Banyuls on the Spanish border to the island of Corsica. The key wine producers and their wines are featured, with details of the regions, laws and grape varieties. The author reveals the fascinating developments in the vineyards and the cellars throughout this region's many wine-producing locations and how new appellations are more regularly rewarded here than in any other wine region in France.

George argues that before recent improvements in technology and an accompanying new generation of visionary winemakers, the wines of the South of France have deserved their relatively lesser reputation. After thorough research, covering the history of the area's winemaking from 6 B.C.E. to the present, and 16 visits to the region, George (The Wines of Chablis, etc.) now makes a convincing case for these wines. Her broad territory is Roussillon, Languedoc, Provence, and Corsica, and the book is divided accordingly. Within each region, the important wineries are covered in a narrative that is part travel writing and part wine criticism; there are also weather tables and vintage guides. Given the area's current popularity for tourists, this book is particularly timely. While a summary roundup of wineries for travelers might have been a useful addition, George has filled a niche in one big volume. Recommended for all good wine collections.

- Explores the wines of a significant yet under-appreciated wine region, guiding avid wine adventurers to their next new discovery - Author is a renowned writer on wine with publications including Alcohol: A History and, for the Classic Wine Library, The Wines of Canada and Wine: A Social and Cultural History of the Drink that Changed our Lives - Adds to the list of French wine titles in the Classic Wine Library series, which includes books on neighboring regions Roussillon and the Languedoc Wine production in south-west France goes back a long way. The region includes some of the first districts in France (notably Gaillac) to be planted with vines, by the Romans more than two thousand years ago. It is also the earliest-known location of scores of grape varieties, some of them precursors of international varieties such as Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Although today south-west France is the fourth region of France in terms of wine production very few wine consumers are familiar with more than two or three of its appellations. Cahors and Madiran are well-known appellations but we don't hear (or read) much about less fashionable appellations such as Rosette and Béarn. As a result the wines generally command relatively low prices. This book covers all the important aspects of south-west France in an accessible way. Although it includes the mass-produced wines of the region it focuses on quality wines made in more limited volumes. Although a number of the appellations of south-west France share similar climatic conditions (such as the influence of the Atlantic), the many small AOPs vary significantly in soils and topography, grape varieties, and the styles of wines they produce. They range from the botrytized sweet whites of Monbazillac to the teeth-staining reds of Cahors, from the distinctive dry whites of Jurançon to the tannic reds of Madiran. Phillips begins with a brief history of the region and provides an overview of the region today before considering the wines of the various sub-regions in turn, including land and climate, grape varieties, wine styles, and wine law, together with entries on their most notable producers. All colors of wine are made in south-west France, as are dry and sweet wines and sparkling and still wines. The rich diversity of the world of wine is represented in south-west France, and it is this very diversity of grape varieties and wine styles that makes the region so compelling.

Thefirst vineyards of the Languedoc were planted by the Greeks in the 5th centuryBC. Viticulture has flourished in theLanguedoc ever since, particularly in the nineteenth century, when it became France'slargest vineyard area. It still claims that honour today, but its profile isvery difficult. Gone are the days of industrial mass production. The Languedocof the twenty-first century is a vibrant, innovative wine area, whereeverything vinous is possible. Forthe purposes of The wines of Languedoc, the Languedoc stretches from the appellations ofMalepère and Cabardès to the west of Carcassonne as far as Sommières, to theeast of Montpellier, including better known appellations such as Faugères, StChinian, Minervois and Corbières, as well as the more recently recognized like Terrassesdu Larzac. Master of Wine Rosemary George discusses therecent developments in the region, before covering each appellation, with itshistory, geography and terroir. She profiles a personal selection of winegrowers, including some more established names, but focusing above all on thenewcomers, of which there are many, and the potential future stars of theregion.

Between Bordeaux and the Spanish border, reaching east to the Massif Central and the river valleys of the Dordogne and Lot, and south to the foothills of the Pyrenees, lies a unique and little-known viticultural landscape. South-West France is a wine lover's paradise that cultivates an astonishing array of grape varieties, many that grow nowhere else, and produces a fascinating assortment of wines. In this book, Paul Strang covers the South-West with enthusiasm and keen expertise, providing a history of its wine industry, including a near collapse and unlikely rebirth, and introducing readers to a region that seems to defy globalization. The outstanding local wines--made by idiosyncratic growers motivated by a passion for their profession--range from inky Tannats to honeyed late-harvest Semillons. Intrepid readers are invited to rediscover this beautiful part of France, already well known for its cuisine, castles, and cave art, for its earthy and intriguing wines.
