There are those who are featured, those who used to be, those who will be one day, and those who most certainly never will.

A unique guide, without advertisement. Gutenberg Prize for the Best Practical Guide (Editions Albin Michel).

Freedom of expression and style make this a guide without real competition and explain the success it has had over the years. Nothing is asked of the owners to have the right to feature in the Guide, just the commitment to quality, effort, and devotion to their art that is required to make a wine with real character. No "fashionable" wines in this Guide, and we only taste wines bottled and capped - no manipulation and special "competition" wines. A wine lovers and professionals help.

Each year, Patrick Dussert-Gerber reviews the really wines which count today - from the most modest to the most reputed - without preconceptions.

All the news classifications® of the best wines in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Provence, the Loire Valley, Beaujolais, Alsace, the South-West and the Rhone Valley are fully updated along with, for the first time, a classification of the wines of Languedoc-Roussillon. .

Beware of "goods deals" which are anything. The great Bordeaux wines at unjustifiable prices, exaggerated price-rises, price reductions which are hiding something ... beware of exaggerated reputations.

The good wines, and the others. A sweet white which should have been dry, a "primeur" red at the antipodes of the great qualitative reputation of its appellation, micro-batches of wine specially prepared for getting good marks in competitions, fermentation in new barrels for wines which aren't up to it, the use of micro-bubble techniques, excessive tanin extraction, stirring on the lees ... in every appellation, the secret to find the right wine is to knock on the right door.

L'AMOUR DU VIN
A UNIQUE CONCEPT WITH 2 SHOPS IN FRANCE : 1 IN PARIS, 1 IN BORDEAUX

To share love of wine with professionals and wine lovers, giving them the opportunity to taste (and discover) exceptional wines at all prices and to meet the people who produced these wines, and to enable the vine-growers to become better known and to benefit from a prestigious "showcase" in Paris and Bordeaux.

- A careful selection of wines made by Patrick Dussert-Gerber in tasting sessions in all the different wine-growing regions.

- The wines are sold at the property price, with no margin taken by L'Amour du Vin ! The vine-growers set their own sales price to the consumer (generally the property price plus transport costs) and receive the full amount of that price.

- Free tasting sessions with a friendly atmosphere to meet the owners and to know exactly what you are buying.

- An advice service on which wines to serve with what dishes.

- Deliveries in France and abroad. Colette and Claude Gerber manage L'Amour du Vin and guarantee that you will have the choice between some of the best wines in France. No "fashionable" wines or "wines for tourists" hiding their weakness behind a nice label and sold at outrageously high prices... What counts is that the wines have strong local character and consistent quality- whether they come from the most highly-reputed appellations or from the least well-known.

To be invited to the next (free) tasting session, just send us your business card.

MILLESIMES
THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE PRESTIGIOUS ANNUEL MILLESIMES MAGAZINE

For 26 years, MILLESIMES has defended the best French wines. They are a thousand selected, a selection of the best winegrowers for the typicity of their wines, their quality-price-pleasure ratio, the expression of their soil and their passion. With them, with you, we share the same values.

What differentiates a true wine (the price does not enter counts some then) from a simple product, red or white, it is thus what it brings to us: pleasure. And pleasure is not given when one emerges certain "modern" wines. The wine, it is not a wood juice but a grape juice.

The family entity is strong in the vine growers, and one sees well the great difference between a domain managed by a group and a director, and another where one works in family. In MILLESIMES, us also, we work in family, and it is also the guarantee of an ethics.

Managers and authors : Patrick Dussert-Gerber and Brigitte Dussert.
