Reviews
Paul Strang has been a main driver of the renaissance of South West France. This new edition confirms the coming-of age of Languedoc-Roussillon as France's new fine wine region, a work of reference and a beautiful volume that wouldn't have been possible even five years ago, or without the combination of Paul's research and Jason's painterly eye. It's already led me to brilliant wines I've never met before. Hugh Johnson OBE Strang's book remains the finest reference to this dynamic wine region, and a compelling argument for Languedoc Roussillon as the source of some of France's greatest values for terroir-driven wines today. Jamal Rayyis, Wine & Spirits Invest in Paul Strang's book (beautifully illustrated with photos by Jason Shenai): if it leads you to just a handful of Languedoc Roussillon's best winemakers, it will have repaid your investment many times over. Bill Knott, The Oldie In a large format with attractive photography and useful maps, this is a very useful directory to the producers of this vast and diverse region. Amanda Barnes, Circle of Wine Writers
Author Information
Paul Strang is a lover of Southern France and its wines. After many gruelling, painstaking years of hard labour talking to the growers, eating and drinking in the Languedoc, he recently produced a completely revised bible of their wines entitled 'Languedoc Roussillon - The Wines and Winemakers' to add to his range of books on the area. Amongst his other talents, Paul was also the lawyer to The Wine Society when the wine stocks were moved from the cellars beneath the London Palladium to the new warehouse in Stevenage under the aegis of Edmund Penning-Rowsell. He also recalls the first computer system that The Wine Society installed and the ensuing interesting events.
