Châteaux Bordeaux #4

The fourth volume of Corbeyran and Espé's acclaimed French series turns its attention to Les Millésimes — the great vintages — and the cover sets the mood beautifully: a confident young woman in a warm orange top holds a glass of deep red wine up to the light, rows of cellar-stored bottles glowing softly in the background behind her. Espé's artwork captures both the intimacy of the wine world and the quiet expertise of someone who knows exactly what she's looking at. Produced in partnership with La Revue du Vin de France, this 2013 Glénat release continues the series' rich blend of drama and passion for the vineyards of Bordeaux.
