Bordeaux, Then and Now: What 50 Years Reveal About Change in a Classic Region

The Federation of Alliances Françaises USA invites you to a special virtual presentation exploring the evolution of one of France’s most iconic wine regions. Join Bordeaux-based wine authority Jane Anson and acclaimed photographer Peter Aaron for a rich conversation inspired by their new book, Bordeaux Chronicle.

In this engaging discussion, Aaron and Anson will reflect on Bordeaux across more than five decades—pairing Aaron’s photographs from 1969 with his return to the same estates in 2024. Together, they reveal a region transformed by time, global influence, and innovation, while still deeply rooted in tradition and terroir.

This program will explore the visual and cultural transformation of Bordeaux over 50 years.

Signed books can be purchased through Kitchen Arts & Letters in NYC on-line or anywhere fine books are sold, the event offers attendees the opportunity to engage directly with the authors and gain a deeper understanding of Bordeaux beyond the glass.
