Product Description

Review

["A] magisterial and compelling tour de force of a passionate wine guide....a dip into the book at virtually any point is almost as satisfying as a visit."--"Decanter

Product Description

For anyone who wants to understand the full story that lies within a glass of wine, this book opens up the inner secrets of the geology, the vineyards, the wines, and the growers of the northern Rhone Valley in France. Home to the spicy Syrah, or Shiraz, and the floral Viognier grapes, the northern Rhone Valley is one of France's oldest wine-growing regions; its appellations include Hermitage, Cote-Rotie, Condrieu, Crozes-Hermitage, St-Joseph, and Chateau-Grillet. With evocative descriptions and marvelous insights, this accessible, elegant book, the culmination of more than thirty years following the Rhone, is a comprehensive and authoritative survey of the various estates, winemakers, and their wines.Taking a deeper look at the northern Rhone than Livingstone-Learmonth's highly regarded previous volumes on the Rhone Valley, this revised and up-to-date edition covers more producers and includes more in-depth information on the various terroirs, the histories of the wines, and the methods for making the wines. Livingstone-Learmonth concentrates on letting the producers explain their outlook and methods and includes much local color. "The Wines of the Northern Rhone" includes: assessments of thousands of wines, with guide dates on when to drink and how long to age them; winemakers' views on what foods best accompany their wines; new vineyard maps for each appellation; detailed descriptions by growers discussing the effect of different soils on their wines; precise information on how each domaine makes its wines; and, new research on the historical links between Hermitage and Bordeaux.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book for wine lovers, 4 Feb 2010
By 
This review is from: The Wines of the Northern Rhone (Hardcover)
I bought this book on the recommendation of a Rhone wine grower who uses it as a local encyclopedia. It has everything you need if you are looking for detailed info on grapes, terrain & regional producers. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that so far it is a single edition, already 5 years old, with no talk of an update.

5.0 out of 5 stars Set aside a few months to read it!!, 31 Jan 2010
By 
This review is from: The Wines of the Northern Rhone (Hardcover)
Without a doubt this is the most comprehensive wine book I have. The author provides a level of detail that is unsurpassed, descriptions of individual vineyards and terroirs, micro-climates even personalities of some of the wine makers. It is not a book for someone with a casual interest in the region, definitely one for a wine anorak. The authors knowledge is mind boggling and whets ones appetite for the wine he describes.
