Presentation :

Inside Bordeaux is an innovative guide to Bordeaux châteaux, their wines, and the terroir, written by Jane Anson, one of the world's leading experts on Bordeaux wines.

With countless books written about Bordeaux and so much happening there, from the innovative practices of new-generation winemakers to the rise of organic and biodynamic viticulture and terroir-driven winemaking, Jane sees Inside Bordeaux as an opportunity to take a different perspective on the region.

The book takes readers beyond what they already know about the region: there are the châteaux, large and small, the wines, and the personalities. But Jane also draws on recent—and literally groundbreaking—research by experts at the University of Bordeaux to profile the terroir of key châteaux and appellations. This research, some of which has not yet been published, will give readers vital insights into which wines will excel in which year.

Jane Anson believes that Bordeaux wine is being refreshed by a new focus on vineyards: the way they are worked, the details of the soil and climate, which inform how and where the grapes are grown. To this end, Jane has worked with leading experts to explore the landscapes of Bordeaux. With her, we discover where warmer summers and new skills are making surprising wines in places that once went untapped. Sixty-one new maps, based on previously unpublished research, show us where the best terroirs are found.
Jane explains how this can help us discover the star wines of tomorrow.

With nearly 700 pages of in-depth articles, Inside Bordeaux will take you beyond what you already know about the region. The essential guide to Bordeaux!

The author:

In her in-depth study of more than a thousand châteaux and wines, Jane Anson reveals a world quite different from the classic image of Bordeaux: a world that oscillates between a starry past and an exciting future. Her Bordeaux is that of the great premier crus, whose vintages she has tasted for decades. But it is also the Bordeaux of stubborn pioneers, of young shoots, of new vineyards born of faith in neglected corners.

Jane Anson is the foremost writer on Bordeaux today—an insider who lives and works in the city. She knows everyone. From winemakers renewing their vows to their land to academic experts revealing to châteaux what lies beneath their vines. She has published widely and is a certified professor at the Bordeaux Wine School and holds a tasting diploma from the Bordeaux Faculty of Oenology. Jane has lived and worked in Bordeaux since 2003.
