Despite competition from the New World, French wine is still the most highly regarded in the world. Eight hundred French experts have put 28,000 wines through the most rigorous of tests, a blind tasting. The result is a unique guide to the very best French wines, including the following information per wine: year of wine tasted; area cultivated; quality of wine (good/very good/exceptional); kind of wine (colour/still or sparkling); tasting on site; price; sales on site; price/quality ratio; best/exceptional years; to drink/to keep/to keep a little then drink; matured in barrel or tank; number of bottles produced; information not available in other guides. Plus a comprehensive and practical section - from how to read the label, the differing bottle and glass shapes to pairing wine with food and keeping a cellar.

The english translation of the hachette guide is a mine of information still useful even in the now dated 2002 edition. wines have changed in the years since its publication but the wine areas have not and the producers have changed little.

The price of this guide was great, this book was recommended to me by a French man.
I have not looked back , the Country is split into it's producing areas and producers and so on.
You cannot go wrong to find a wine that you like and then buy a really fine wine, or a wine of your choice from a good producer.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes wine! Enjoy
