The Complete Bordeaux Vintage Guide: From 1870 to 2024

The Complete Bordeaux Vintage Guide 1870–2024 covers, in depth, over 150 years of vintages and is totally unique in its cultural scope.

For wine lovers and collectors this is the new indispensable guide, updated throughout and including 2021–2024 vintages. This handbook not only explains what happened in a particular season, but provides wider historical and social context. Every single year is accompanied by one event or milestone, one song or musical composition, and one film that encapsulates the spirit of the time as well as the world into which the vintage was born.

Wine writer Neal Martin offers a personal, witty take on the traditional wine handbook, with notes on not just the growing seasons, harvests, and wines themselves, but cultural phenomena ranging from Sherlock Holmes through Casablanca to Beyoncé. Innovative, inspired, and addictively dip-in-able, The Complete Bordeaux Vintage Guide is an essential addition to your bookshelf as well as your cellar.
