Discover *Millésimes, les grandes années, de 1900 à nos jours* by Michel Dovaz—the definitive book on great wines and exceptional vintages, published by Assouline (2009, 431 pages in French, ISBN 9782759405572). This volume—in excellent, like-new condition—tells the story of the truly great wines that captivate enthusiasts: where they come from, why they are so rare, and the factors (climate, soil, people, and techniques) that have shaped the global wine landscape since 1900.
Initially, the author situates the place of great wines within the wine landscape, incorporating the emergence of new regions. Then, while retracing the events that have shaped the world, he lists the legendary vintages that have reached exceptional levels and forever marked the history of wine. Following the success of the first edition in 1999 ( Wines of the Century), this updated version enriches the saga of excellence with new chapters and a new horizon. The appearance of complex and refined wines from Argentina, Australia, California, Chile and New Zealand is paving the way for a new generation of oenophiles. An essential book for anyone passionate about great wines and the history of vineyards.
