Presentation :

Is the vine dying from being cultivated? Do terroirs exist? Is wine just fermented grape juice? Do AOCs only protect origin? Do wine and food pairings have a historical reality? Hasn't tasting standardized wine? Isn't it paradoxical to talk about natural wines? A Thousand Vines deciphers the vine, the landscapes, and the wine by offering keys to understanding the links between the bottle, tasting, and the people, terroirs, and vineyards that created them.
For Pascaline Lepeltier, Meilleur Ouvrière de France (Best Craftsman of France), wine and vines are multifaceted: it's impossible to understand one without the other. Drawing on the latest scientific knowledge in botany, geography, climatology, anthropology, and even neurophysiology, as well as contemporary experiences in vineyards around the world, she challenges preconceived notions about vines, inviting visitors to taste the wine of tomorrow.
But what a job! Pascaline Lepeltier tackles a mountain that has never been tamed, navigates the pitfalls with ease, and gently decants everything we wanted to know about wine. Sylvie Augereau, winemaker and journalist Between plant physiology, history of terroirs, and taste philosophy, Pascaline offers us a vibrant ode dedicated to the world of wine. Philippe Faure Brac, Best Sommelier in the World 1992 I discovered this book and am sincerely dazzled by so much cultural sagacity.
This is already a reference book on wine. François-Régis Gaudry, food journalist This book skillfully recounts this improbable path that leads from the vine to the glass. Marc-André Selosse, professor at the National Museum of Natural History
