BORDEAUX LEGENDS

For the first time, this book brings together their separate stories
into one sweeping saga - from their early days as Seigneuries
owned by some of France's most powerful families, to the dramas
of the French Revolution, the 1855 Paris Exhibition where four of
them were crowned as First Growths, and the determined efforts
which saw Mouton Rothschild join them more than a century later.
The book follows their progress up to where they stand today,
as the world's most iconic wines. Bordeaux Legends tells not only
their stories, but offers an insight into the obsessional detail that
goes in to making the world's greatest wines, and explains
the story of the Bordeaux wine trade through these five estates
that have been at its heart for over 500 years.
Alongside methodical primary research are revealing anecdotes
and lively historical detail, enriched by Isabelle Rozenbaum's
lavish photographs, and first-hand accounts from the châteaux
owners, directors and staff, as well as those who work
with them in Bordeaux, London, Hong Kong, the United States
and further afield.
