Steven Spurrier Bücher

Steven Spurrier was a legend in the wine industry. This book charts the incidents, adventures, ideas and discoveries that have formed Steven's remarkable wine journey.

First published as the "Academie du Vin Guide to French Wines", this revised edition is in a new format, similar to that of the author's "Academie du Vin Wine Course". It takes the reader around the wine regions of France, and provides detailed information on wines above the most basic quality.

This is the story of Steven Spurrier's rich and eventful life in and around wine. From being inspired by a glass of Cockburn 1908 Vintage Port at thirteen years old, Steven Spurrier joined London's oldest wine merchant in 1964; he bought a wine shop in Paris ("Your wine merchant speaks English"), and organised what became known as the Judgement of Paris, when, at a blind tasting, nine of the best tasters in France placed Californian wines, both white and red, above the greatest French wines, changing the wine world forever. Steven Spurrier was 2017 Decanter Man of the Year, a title generally reserved for the greatest of the world's wine makers, and is currently President of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. He has recently planted a vineyard in Dorset to produce sparkling wine.

Déguster du vin, cela n'est pas inné : cela s'apprend, cela se cultive. La palais y est indispensable, mais aussi l'expérience et la connaissance. Ce livre est une initiation au noble art de la dégustation, tel qu'il est pratiqué et enseigné à l'Académie du Vin, à Paris
