The French professor of geography René Pijassou (1922-2007) taught at the Université Michel de Montaigne de Bordeaux III, where he was director of the Institute de Géographie until 1990. He was considered a specialist of the Médoc, on which he carried out numerous studies and published books. These included Regards sur la révolution agricole en Dordogne (1967), Le Médoc - Un grand vignoble de qualité (1980), Le Médoc - Vignes et Vignerons (1990), Gruaud Larose - Le vin des rois, Le roi des vins (1997) and Château Palmer - Noblesse oblige (1997). In his studies, he also dealt with the topics of wine evaluation (tasting) and wine address (description). See also under Literature.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
