The most illustrious country in the wine-producing world, France owes its unequaled reputation to many factors, as much geographical as historical and human. Anyone who travels across France cannot fail to be struck by the sheer variety of its landscapes, its soils, its local climates. From open pastures and meadows to gently sloping hillsides and from cliffs plunging into the sea to sandy beaches whose dunes stretch to infinity: France is a land of diverse terrain.

Over the course of thirty years, World’s Best Sommelier Enrico Bernardo has visited the best vineyards of France, discovering some of the most innovative winemakers along the way.

With Wine & Travel France, readers embark on a journey through the picturesque French countryside, exploring renowned vineyards and discovering local gems: a historic restaurant, a tranquil market, or a local celebration brimming with surprises. Part of Assouline’s new Wine & Travel series, which explores emblematic destinations through the lens of wine tourism, this edition uncovers the twelve regions that shape France’s illustrious wine heritage, complemented by captivating anecdotes and a curated list of must-visit vineyards.

About Acqua Di Parma:

In 1916, master perfumers created a new fragrance in a small perfumer's laboratory in the old town center of Parma. It was unusually fresh and modern compared to the perfumes of German origin, stronger and more intense, that were then so popular. This was the first real Italian eau de cologne, and it expressed a new sensibility. The most striking thing was the purity of the fragrance produced exclusively with natural ingredients. To this day, its composition has never been changed.

Over the years, the popularity of Acqua di Parma continued to grow. The iconic Art Deco bottle known and loved today was created in the 1930s and instantly saw Colonia become the perfume of the era. For Acqua di Parma, international success came in the 1950s, when Hollywood film stars traveled to Italy and discovered it in highly exclusive tailor shops, where its unmistakable Italian style and elegance were heightened. By the 1960s, Acqua di Parma had become an exclusive, high-society perfume house.

All the lines continue to be produced strictly in Italy and are distributed in 36 countries worldwide.

Mimosa in the Air.  Spring in the South of France -- a thousand tiny yellow clouds of joy grow on trees, and fill the sky with the promise of balmy, longer, softer days... Mimosa is in the air. And the vetiver accentuates its tender sensuality.

Notes: Bergamot, Mimosa, Vetiver, and Cedarwood.
