"Fine French winemaking culture is personified in three regions that are as noble as they are prestigious: Cognac, the ancestral birthplace of Hennessy; Champagne, home to legendary houses such as Dom P rignon, Veuve Clicquot, Mo t & Chandon, Krug, Ruinart, and Mercier; and Bordeaux, graced by the magical ch teau Yquem. Unparalleled richness of soil coupled with the passion and genius of exceptional entrepreneurs have upheld the success of these famous nectars, to which this book offers an exuberant tribute. An exceptional showpiece, Distinctive Vintages features dramatic design elements including sixteen gatefolds and over fifty other special effects such as die-cuts, inserts, and movable pieces, which make officiel this luxury object a unique and memorable fetish item."
