This is a more complete documentation on the wines of Savoie, Bugey and beyond than anything ever published, even in French.

‘An engagingly elucidated and beautifully packaged wealth of otherwise inaccessible information… It would be hard to imagine a more successful introduction to any corner of the wine-growing world, and few corners suffer from less-justified neglect.’
