Inside Bordeaux (Jane Anson) and Inside Burgundy (Jasper Morris) extend three decades of Segrave Foulkes experience in creating the world’s best wine maps. Our expertise in gathering the most precise information and presenting it in beautiful, clear formats has led us to become the go-to source for wine maps for both publications and select producers.
The Bordeaux maps
For the first time ever, these maps allow you to look beneath the vines, revealing what it is that makes for such world-renowned wines. The maps show Bordeaux’s famous châteaux alongside insights into the terroirs that can reveal where to look for tomorrow’s great wines. The maps are for wine-lovers, educators and professionals seeking the ultimate in authority and beauty.
These Bordeaux terroir maps, expanded from those created for Inside Bordeaux, are now available as superb, large-format prints.
Available at select châteaux and specialist book shops, or at www.janeanson.com
Our background in maps
Chris Foulkes was responsible as executive editor for two editions (3rd & 4th) of Hugh Johnson’s World Atlas of Wine, and commissioned the ground-breaking national Wine Atlas series (France, Germany, Spain) that culminated in Burton Anderson’s multi-award-winning Wine Atlas of Italy.
The Segrave Foulkes company, by then independent, created a suite of world wine maps for the Larousse Encyclopaedia of Wine, and went on to produce The Bordeaux Atlas.
For The Bordeaux Atlas, a complete set of maps of the region was created from scratch. Basic survey data was taken from highly-detailed German military maps from the 1940s, unearthed by Segrave Foulkes researchers in a London archive. These provided the 5-metre contours in the Médoc, a crucial detail lacking, at the time, from other wine atlases.
Several maps showed the precise land-holdings of leading châteaux, details gleaned by on-foot, and on-bicycle, investigation by Segrave Foulkes researchers.
These maps formed the basis for the maps in Jane Anson’s Inside Bordeaux (2020). They go a stage further, adding wholly new soil and geology information, under the aegis of Prof. Kees van Leeuwen, to the updated and extended topography and châteaux maps.
“The Wine Atlas of Italy… is a work of such painstaking research and inspired presentation that Italy is now the country best served by vineyard maps and textual commentary in the world.”
– Hugh Johnson
“[The Bordeaux Atlas] has the best maps I have ever seen of this vaunted wine region”
– Robert M. Parker Jr.
“Who, though, can recite the names of the wine world’s most skilled cartographers? … The maps in The Bordeaux Atlas … are extraordinarily useful.”
– Andrew Jefford, Decanter
