Samenvatting:

Despite competition from the New World, French wine is still the most highly regarded in the world. Eight hundred French experts have put 28,000 wines through the most rigorous of tests, a blind tasting. The result is a unique guide to the very best French wines, including the following information per wine: year of wine tasted; area cultivated; quality of wine (good/very good/exceptional); kind of wine (colour/still or sparkling); tasting on site; price; sales on site; price/quality ratio; best/exceptional years; to drink/to keep/to keep a little then drink; matured in barrel or tank; number of bottles produced; information not available in other guides. Plus a comprehensive and practical section - from how to read the label, the differing bottle and glass shapes to pairing wine with food and keeping a cellar.
