We reprinted three of our most popular maps in the last few months: Italy in August; Spain & Portugal and France in December.
Amazingly, only France had any updates, and they were minor:
1. Bourgogne Vézelay, a subregion of Bourgogne becomes a full AOP.
2. Pic Saint-Loup also gets promoted from a subregion (of Languedoc) to a full AOP.
3. Corrèze is a new AOP in SW France, west of Bordeaux and north of Cahors.
This is the first time we’ve reprinted any of our maps without an update. Hopefully, this is a trend and not the calm before the storm!
It's very kind of
Chambers St. Wines to like our maps in their recent newsletter.
