Along the famous West Bank of the Gironde estuary in France's Bordeaux are some of the most prestigious wineries in the world: Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, Cos-d-Estournel, and others. The authors take us on a tour of the chateaux, the grand buildings that serve as the headquarters of the winery (and often the dwelling place of its owners). In addition to articles on each chateau, there is a glossary of terms, bibliography, and detailed information on each winery including address, telephone, and fax number.
This wine-lover's guide to a beautiful wine-growing region of France, the Medoc, is a 'must' for any enthusiast of French countryside and wines. It provides a fine set of full-page photos by Peter Knaup as he travels from one chateaux to another, covering the wines and setting of over thirty estates. A revealing, wonderful guide for the traveling connoisseur.

Chateaux of the Medoc
Thin. Based largely on speculation, this book would have made a much better historical novel than biography. Little actual information is known about Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, so Mazzeo filled in based upon the known history of France (and the rest of Europe) in the 1800s. The details about the history of the wine industry made up most of the solid information and were interesting, but the book was supposed to be about more than that--Ponsardin and the rise of Veuve Clicquot. Additionally, for coming in at less than 200 pages, there is a lot of repetitive information throughout, and the notes are odd--there are millions of them but no footnotes or endnotes to reference readers to the correct information.
