Le vin et les jours [French]

By Emile Peynaud

Emile Peynaud, equally recognised for his scientific work, his wine tasting abilities and his teaching sense, was one of the fathers of modern oenology. Rigorous as well as curious, and an excellent promoter of wine, he succeeded in converting the "Grand Crus" of Bordeaux and numerous other vineyards throughout the world to the new techniques of winemaking. A lively narrative of the memories and the personal experiences of the author, this book is both an eyewitness account of the post-war revolution in oenology and a still relevant handbook on the art and manner of making good wine, from the optimisation of the harvests to the correct fermentation and wine making methods.
