The Faugeres
appellation refers to the wines produced by a collection of seven
villages. I’m familiar with several of the wine growing regions in France,
but I had not come across Faugeres. Apparently, many people in the
United States are also unfamiliar with these wines. I selected this
book because I wanted to learn more about this region.
I wasn’t
disappointed. The book is beautifully written and very informative.
Starting with a description of the region, it makes you feel that you
are taking a trip through a beautiful and interesting area. In addition, the author describes the history of the region.
Each village is
discussed not only from the scenery, but from the the wines that grow
there and how they differ. It’s a very
comprehensive treatment telling not only what wines are produced by
each chateau, but also how the winemakers approached the task of
making fine wines.
If you’re
interested in wine, I highly recommend this book. It made me want to
visit the region, walk the hills,
and sample the wines.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
