Description: Bordeaux Legends: The 1855 First Growth Wines of Haut-Brion, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux and Mouton Rothschild Anson, Jane; Coppola, Frances Ford and Rozenbaum, Isabelle Product Overview Bordeaux Legends traces the 500-year history of the five world-renowned Bordeaux wines known as “First Growths”―four crowned in 1855, and Mouton Rothschild joining them more than a century later. Wine educator and journalist Jane Anson presents the fascinating story of what it means to be a first-growth wine, what makes these wines so extraordinary, and what that means to the legions of merchants, dealers, and wine lovers who hold them in such high esteem. For the first time, this book brings the estate’s separate stories together into one sweeping saga, filled with revealing anecdotes and lively historical detail. With a foreword by Academy Award–winning director and winery owner Francis Ford Coppola and stunning new photographs, this book makes it clear why these five wines are considered among the very best in the world.Praise for Bordeaux Legends:“The book is full of the romance of these iconic chateaus, but it also offers interesting details about the business of running their global empires. Ultimately, Anson’s book is a look at the complexities of producing the wines that many consider to be among the world’s best.” ―The San Jose Mercury News online Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Abrams; 1st edition (2 April 2013) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 288 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 161769035X ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 58 Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 23.5 x 3.81 x 27.94 cm Best Sellers Rank: 4,143,978 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) 167,309 in Food & Drink (Books) 565,628 in History (Books) 167,309 in Food & Drink (Books) 565,628 in History (Books) Customer reviews: 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 8 ratings - - *** PLEASE READ NOTE BELOW BEFORE PURCHASING *** Please note the featured photo is drawn from a catalogue and will not necessarily reflect the actual condition or cover edition of the item on sale -- PLEASE REFER TO 'SELLER NOTES' for the more accurate appraisal.
