The French oenologist Prof. Dr. Denis Boubals (1926-2007) is considered one of the most important figures of the 20th century in viticulture. After graduating from high school, he studied at the University of Montpellier, graduated in 1948 in oenology and agronomy, and earned his doctorate in 1958 in natural sciences with a dissertation on the genetic transmission of grapevine phylloxera. Initially, Boubals worked at the INRA (National Institute for Agricultural Research) as the responsible director of the research department. In 1975, he received a chair in viticulture at the university department "École Nationale Supérieure Agronomique" in Montpellier.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
