The book

Regularly updated and enhanced with the expert guidance of scientific specialists in neurobiology and oenology, the book in the kit provides a wealth of information on the origins of wine aromas and their classification: What creates wine aromas? What information do they give about the grape variety or blend, the winemaking and ageing methods used, and the age of the wine itself?

It includes an overview of how the olfactory system works: What are the two olfactory pathways? What happens between our nose and our brain when we smell?

It guides you through how to use the aroma vials to recognise, remember and then identify the scents in a glass of wine: How should you practise and how often? What are the steps involved in describing a wine’s bouquet?

It is an invaluable tool for either novice or experienced wine tasters, detailing the aromatic profile of the main grape varieties and vineyards in France and around the world: What is the olfactory signature of Merlot or Riesling? What notes characterise the wines of Burgundy or the Rhône Valley?

It offers beginners and wine professionals alike indispensable knowledge on wine aromas.
