  This aims to provide a detailed guide to the Moulis-Listrac appellation, with a section on its history and geography, and a catalogue of the crus together with their characteristics and rating. Because just one vineyard is focussed on, the book is considered to be more in-depth and informative than a general guide. The book is organized into three sections. The first provides a survey and account of wine-growing within the appellation with maps, diagrams and photographs. The second section contains an alphabetical listing of every cru within the appellation, with a section of factual and statistical information for each, a graphic quality grading, a colour reproduction of the wine label, and a summary of the characteristics of its wines. The third section consists of an appendix which has a year-by-year assessment of each vintage since 1956, plus lists of growers and negociants with addresses.
