A history of wine, gastronomy, and dining etiquette drawn from 150 rare documents in one of the world’s great culinary archives.
As one of the oldest and most celebrated wine estates, and so one of the first luxury brands in the world, Château Haut-Brion’s deep connection with gastronomy is reflected in a remarkable private library that forms a singular bridge between wine and culinary history. This extraordinary collection—the largest private assembly of antiquarian wine and gastronomy books, artworks, and artifacts—includes more than 3,000 rare volumes, 312 historic menus, and 100 legendary restaurant wine lists, along with original letters, manuscripts, and engravings.
Readers are offered a vivid exploration of centuries of global food and wine culture. Viticulture, gastronomy, and the art of the table unfold in thematic chapters like “At the Table of Kings,” “The Birth of the Restaurant,” and “Diplomacy and Gastronomy.” The library’s treasures include a sixth-century Egyptian papyrus and medieval illuminated manuscripts, a letter written by a companion of Joan of Arc, seventeenth-century Japanese scrolls depicting ceremonial banquets, menus from Louis XIV’s Versailles, guides to the earliest Parisian restaurants, and a handwritten note on wine by Pablo Picasso.
Across more than 400 pages, this book offers an engaging and immersive look into a unique cultural legacy—an essential read for wine enthusiasts, epicureans, historians, and art lovers drawn to the enduring allure of gastronomy.
