Illustrated throughout with eight colour maps, three of which are folding. Collated complete. A Bordeaux wine directory and study containing historical observations and assessment of Bordeaux wine.

Illustrated by Eugene Vergez, a French painter and illustrator. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light wear and minor bumping to the extremities.
