On August 23, 2015 Guy Ligier passed away at the age of 85. For nearly half a century, he has marked the history of motorsport. However, it is only when he was in his thirtiesthat this all-round sportsman took the turn in motorsport. Few French drivers have scoreda point in the F1 world championship, Guy Ligier has done it! For Guy, F1 is also the death of a dear friend, Jo Schlesser. As a tribute, Guy Ligier, who became a constructor, will name all his racing cars with the initials JS. This book traces the history of one of the most beautiful French Formula 1 teams. For twenty-one years, from the JS5 to the JS43, the last Ligier to win a Grand Prix, the Vichy team will have competed in 326 Grand Prix, for 9 victories and 50 podiums. Relive this epic illustrated by the superb photos of Bernard Asset.

    Saskia de Rothschild is to be thanked for bringing together in a beautiful book the history of this Château, which produces the most sought-after Sauternes wines in the world.

    Publishing House: Flammarion

    Publication Date: December 2020

    Description : Winemakers Éric and Saskia de Rothschild lead readers through 150 vintages of Château Lafite, revealing key moments since the family arrived in 1868, along with scientific and climatic data and visual memories from the château’s archives. Over the past 150 years, six generations of the Rothschild family have attended to the winemaking tradition, developing Château Lafite’s reputation and transforming this classified Premier Grand Cru into a benchmark for fine wine in Bordeaux. Discover how this occurred and what actually lies behind Lafite’s label through stories from the tightly-knit team of men and women who tend to Lafite wines-from vineyard workers to barrel makers, and harvesters to winemakers. A chronology introducing each of the 150 vintages includes informative tasting notes, meteorological aspects, and the grape blends that mark each vintage. An archival gem has been unearthed for each year: from the harvesters’ menu in 1922 to portraits by master photographers like Robert Doisneau, Richard Avedon, and Paolo Roversi. Space to record personal tasting notes allows readers to make this book their own, building their wine knowledge over time.
