Description
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.
