Elaborate Cartographic Record of France's Bordeaux Wine Region: Codifying the Appellation d'Origine Contr l e (AOC) ClassificationsLouis Larmat's Les Vins de Bordeaux presents a detailed survey of Bordeaux's legendary vineyards. Originating from Larmat's pioneering efforts to map France's wine regions following the establishment of the AOC system in the 1930s, this atlas translates complex viticultural legislation into precise, color-coded cartography. Published under the high patronage of the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine, the work serves as an essential historical document, capturing the vineyard boundaries and terroir classifications of Burgundy as they were officially recognized in the post-war era.The publication context of Larmat's work is rooted in a monumental cartographic undertaking. During the 1940s, Larmat produced the Atlas de la France Vinicole in six folio volumes, universally recognized as the world's first comprehensive national wine atlas. This 1949 edition, issued in a large quarto format (designated on the title page as "Collection in-4 raisin"), incorporates updated maps that reflect post-war legislative refinements while retaining the exacting standards of the original folio production. The map sheets bear a 1949 copyright by L. Larmat.Cartographic Detail and Viticultural ClassificationThe atlas contains several richly detailed, folding color maps that graphically display Bordeaux's premier growing areas. The primary growing areas of the appellation are distinctly colored, standing in stark contrast to the neighboring regions.The maps are:Le Vins de Bordeaux.

Par la finesse de son tracé et la richesse de ses informations, cette carte témoigne de l?effort de structuration et de reconnaissance des appellations d?origine contrôlée en cours à cette époque.Au-delà de son intérêt propre, cette carte s?inscrit dans un projet éditorial plus vaste : l?Atlas de la France vinicole de Larmat, entrepris entre 1941 et 1947, qui constitue l?une des premières tentatives de cartographie systématique des vignobles français.

Aujourd?hui, les cartes qui le composent, souvent extraites de leur volume d?origine, sont particulièrement recherchées pour leur valeur documentaire autant que pour leurs qualités graphiques.
