Through its fresh, informative text and striking colour photography, this is a definitive portrait of Pauillac - a region or "commune" of Bordeaux widely regarded as the standard-bearer for the red wines not only of Bordeaux but of the entire world of wine.
The book's text and photography vividly portray the commune's 18 classified-growth chateaux and a generous selection of the finest Cru Borgeois estates. The history and character of each estate and its wine is evocatively described in clear, non-technical language. The magnificent photographs capture the splendour and charm of Pauillac's chateaux - their architecture, vineyards, interiors and cellars - and celebrate the beauty of the commune's landscapes and vistas.
