Presentation :

A great winemaker who left his mark on Burgundy's viticulture, Henri Jayer (1922-2006) was a pioneer in sustainable viticulture. From the very beginning, he rigorously familiarized himself with working the vineyard while respecting nature. "Everything begins in the vineyard" is today the credo of all terroir viticulture. A remarkable taster, introduced by René Engel to tasting the wines of all the great vineyards, he was convinced that the identity of Burgundy resided in the geo-sensory specificity of its climates.
This work by Jacky Rigaux, first published in 1997 by Éditions de l'Armançon, has retained all its relevance and it is indeed an Ode to the great wines of Burgundy that is the subject of this exceptional book.
