About
Jean-claude Hermans
I have studied the subject on wine for a long time and I believe that I have served wine well. The good wine that is! I have done this throughout my profession, by teaching and tutoring the art of fine wine for several decades. I had to do a lot of research and consulted many books dedicated to this subject, as well as learning from my travels to chateaux, vineyards, and wineries, and meeting and interviewing numerous proprietors and enologists from diverse cultures and backgrounds, and from various parts of the world. This book attempts to define a wine "Art-Nouveau", or more specifically, a new approach to its knowledge and understanding, without being too technical or too esoteric. It is at the same time objective and subjective, historical and geographical, descriptive and suggestive, analytical and synthetic, but primarily focused on health.
