The Complete Bordeaux Vintage Guide 1870-2024 covers, in depth, over 150 years of vintages and is totally unique in its cultural scope.
For wine lovers and collectors this is the new indispensable guide, updated throughout and including 2021-2024 vintages. This handbook not only explains what happened in a particular season, but provides wider historical and social context. Every single year is accompanied by one event or milestone, one song or musical composition and one film that encapsulates the spirit of the time as well as the world into which the vintage was born. Wine writer Neal Martin offers a personal, witty take on the traditional wine handbook, with notes on not just the growing seasons, harvests and wines themselves, but cultural phenomena ranging from Sherlock Holmes through Casablanca to Harry Styles. Innovative, inspired and addictively dip-in-able, The Complete Bordeaux Vintage Guide is an essential addition to your bookshelf as well as your cellar.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Quadrille PublishingISBN-13:9781837834341ISBN-10:1837834342UPC:9781837834341Book Category:CookingBook Subcategory:BeveragesBook Topic:AlcoholicSize:9.37 x 6.14 x 1.89 inchesWeight:3.05Product ID:SCRTXETXVK
Neal Martin's career in wine began in 1996 as a wine buyer for Japan Airlines where he specialised in Bordeaux and Burgundy. In 2006 Neal was asked by the most influential wine critic in the world, Robert Parker, to join his team at The Wine Advocate where he was the first non-American to hold a position. In December 2012 Neal self-published a 600-page book, Pomerol, that became the standard text for the region, winning the inaugural André Simon John Avery Award and the Louis Roederer Chairman's Award in 2013. He took over coverage of Bordeaux when Parker retired in 2014. In 2018 Neal accepted a position at Vinous where he covers Bordeaux and Burgundy to the present day. His reviews and scores are quoted by merchants around the world and over 25 years he has amassed considerable first-hand knowledge of mature vintages.
