Introduction

Who is making Bordeaux's best and worst wines? What has a chateau's track record been over the last 40 years? Which chateaux are overrated or underrated?

Robert Parker, the world's pre-eminent authority on wine, returns with his eagerly awaited fourth edition of his classic guide to the wine's of Bordeaux - the book the French regard as the "Bordeaux Bible".

Now fully revised and updated, Bordeaux provides the definitive appreciation and consideration of each of the Bordeaux regions, from the famous Margaux, Sauternes of Medoc to the lesser known Lalande-de-Pomerol and Barsac.

Organised by appellation, the book lists each producer alphabetically. Comprehensive detail on taste, colour, texture and quality is coupled with consideration of how vineyards are planted, with information on each property, its owners, production and style of vinification. There are also at-a-glance guides to anticipated maturity, helping you to choose which wines to drink now and those you should allow to mature.

Visitor's guides, glossary, pricing information and exceptional tasting notes all combine to make this latest edition indispensable for the wine buyer. Whether serious oenophile or amateur taster, this landmark book is an essential addition to any wine collector's library.
