The French ruler Louis XIV (1638-1715), known as the "Sun King", represents the pinnacle of absolutist monarchy in Europe. His main goal was the complete centralisation of all power in his person, which is manifested in the saying "L'état c'est moi" (The state is me). He surrounded himself with the most outstanding men of his era in the fields of administration, economy, construction, military, art and science.The world's largest Lexicon of wine terms.
