LES VINS DE BORDEAUX Les Richesses Gastronomiques De La France Les Vins De Bordeaux Première Partie Généralités, Culture, Vendanges, Classification, Châteaux Vinicoles Crus Classés

Lorbac's review of Bordeaux wine and wineries, complete with two maps, one coloured, numerous engravings and 14 additional full page plates. Exceptionally scarce, being one of a three volume series which also included the environs of Bordeaux and the wines of Saint-Émilion. All five crus classés are covered with illustrations of most châteaux. Occasional light marking and a little edgewear, but for the most part all in VG internal order. The maps and plates present particularly well. Large format (c.360x280mm) and now most handsomely rebound in half burgundy leather with attractive silk-patterned burgundy cloth. Five raised bands to spine with gilt titling and Bacchus motifs to compartments. An attractive gift for any Bordeaux wine lover. French language. Folio. 154pp + plates
