The lives of its inhabitants are shaped by the quiet rhythms of the agricultural year, punctuated by the intense activity of the harvest, when Puligny is invaded by boisterous pickers and tractors echo down narrow streets carrying grapes to cellars. This book is a vivid and evocative journal of everyday life in rural France, taking us through the cycle of seasons, from the bonfires of winter prunings to the extraordinary celebrations of the feast of St Vincent. The book includes an insight into life in the village school, gossip, the politics of local elections and the drama of the vintage.Hide synopsis

From the cover, 'In this enchanting journal, wine merchant and writer Simon Loftus explores the mystery of how seven and a half impoverished soil in France became the most precious corner of agricultural land in the world, producing the greatest of all white wines: Puligny-Montrachet. Loftus immerses us first in the village's colorful history, then takes us behind the shuttered windows of this sleepy village of five hundred inhabitants to hear the butcher, the bookbinder, the merchants, and the vignerons themselves speak poignantly of the changes the wine trade has brought. With skill and grace, Loftus shows us how all the natural elements of soil, sun and rain converge to create the perfect environment for the vineyards, and how human hands transform the grapes into the final treasured product. Like a splendid glass of the wine itself, Puligny-Montrachet is a book to be savored and cherished for the memory it leaves imprinted on the senses. '
