James Seely's Great Bordeaux Wines contains more pertinent information - the history of each château, technical details about its grape growing and wine making practices and a tasting report on recent vintages - than any other coffee table size guide to that region. And it supplies directions that literally lead you down the road to the greatest châteaux
Vanity Fair
A worthy addition to the literature on the world's most interesting fine wine region
Edmund Penning Rowsell in Decanter
Delightful reading
Des Moines Register
This excellent book... a complete reference and guide to the entire district and its wines
Harpers
He knows what he is drinking and what he is writing about. The prose discussions are exceptionally rich in history, and I don't know where else one can so easily discover such specific information on viticulture and vinification. The tasting notes are meticulous.
Edward Guiliano in The Wine Spectator
An in-depth profile of 167 of the greatest châteaux in Bordeaux, including all the Crus Classés of the Médoc, plus a selection of the best Crus Bourgeois, and all the best châteaux of the other appellations.
For this second edition James Seely has spent six months revisiting every château, tasting all the new vintages and completely rewriting what is already acknowledged to be the book on Bordeaux.
Now illustrated in full colour with specially commissioned photographs.
