A newly published book offers an exclusive look into the private library of Haut-Brion château, one of the original classified growths in Bordeaux, a region famous for its wine production. The library, housed in a restored ancient tower, contains a collection of manuscripts and objects related to wine and gastronomy, spanning nearly 1500 years of history. Published by Rizzoli, the book includes 700 illustrations and explores the evolution of taste and the cultural significance of wine and food in both Western and Eastern societies. The collection was gathered over approximately fifteen years by Prince Robert of Luxembourg, who serves as the general director of the Clarence Dillon estate and is the owner of Haut-Brion. It consists of around 7000 items, including ancient books, engravings, historical menus, restaurant wine lists, autographed letters, and manuscripts. Prince Robert worked closely with Pedro Corrêa do Lago, a Brazilian collector and longtime friend, who helped guide his early interest in collecting rare books and manuscripts. Among the highlights of the book are a 6th-century papyrus that mentions wine in private possession, medieval illuminated manuscripts, and an incunable—a book printed before 1501—celebrating wine and its properties. There is also a heartfelt handwritten letter from General Napoleon Bonaparte during the Egyptian campaign, detailing wine quantities for distribution. Other notable items include secret confectionery recipes from 18th-century Japan, advancements in winemaking techniques, menus from famous 18th-century restaurants, and 17th-century Arabic calligraphy praising wine. The book is available for purchase at a reasonable price of 75€, making it accessible to a wide audience interested in the history of wine, gastronomy, and cultural exchange. It serves as both a visual and historical treasure, offering insights into how food and drink have shaped human society over centuries.
