Villefranche-sur-Saône P. Guillermet Original red binding with title printed on the front cover within a beautiful Art Deco frame. Edges and corners slightly worn. Muted fabric spine. Pages uniformly tanned due to paper quality, otherwise in very good condition. Numerous illustrations in the text, some full-page. Overall, a fair copy. Le Petit Vigneron is a practical winemaking manual for the small independent French farmer. It belongs to the moment when Pasteur's fermentation science was moving from laboratory theory into everyday vineyard practice. Dubet notes that the Romans heated wine for preservation two thousand years before Pasteur explained the process, while elsewhere he leads the reader through decimal calibration for correct mustimeter readings at harvest. The book follows small-scale production from harvesting and vatting through conservation, disease, distillation, and a directory of suppliers that preserves a snapshot of the early French wine equipment trade. Illustrated with engraved technical drawings, this first edition stands as both a working manual and a document of rural winemaking in transition. Seventeen chapters carry the reader through small-scale vinification from fermented beverages, grapes, must, and wine to fermentation, cultivated yeasts, sulfitage, cellar hygiene, harvest timing, vatting, wine improvement, conservation, wine diseases, special vinifications, tasting, analysis, brandy production, and the use of marc. There are sections on pied de cuve, fûts and casks, and pasteurization, including an illustration of a Brehier pasteurizer. The final portion includes recommended suppliers of products, machines, and winemaking apparatus, naming firms in Villefranche-sur-Saone, Paris, and Lyon. A vigneron’s manual alive with practice: yeasts, faults, tools, and trade, where cellar know-how absorbs the pulse of new science. Rustic knowledge, sharpened and set in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Fenice Antiquaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097366016235,"sku":"126-1910--140-100-46107.6659722222","price":24600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/2000\/5611\/files\/00126_IMG_7378copy.jpg?v=1776193542","url":"https:\/\/fenicebooks.com\/en-jp\/products\/dubet-le-petit-vigneron-1910","provider":"La Fenice Antiquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
