A Rare Look at the Geography of Wine with Daniel Crouch Rare Books – Wednesday 28th May
Just a short stroll from the Club lies one of London’s most quietly extraordinary destinations – Daniel Crouch Rare Books – a world-renowned specialist in rare maps, atlases and travel books, and something of a guardian of extraordinary objects that once defined how the world was understood.
We are delighted, then, to welcome Daniel and his team to the Club to showcase highlights from this unique collection, focusing on wine regions in particular, and take Members on a journey through time, borders and discovery. With clients ranging from museums to modern-day explorers, the collection includes some of the most significant cartographic works in existence.
Of particular note is a complete set of Louis Larmat’s Atlas de la France Vinicole – the world’s first national wine atlas. Published between 1941 and 1947, this six-volume opus blends cartographic precision with the romance of terroir. Also on show, a stunning 1874 hand-coloured map of Bordeaux’s fabled 1855 Classification, produced by Unal Serres. Commissioned for the Exposition Universelle in Paris and endorsed by Napoleon III, this map was a turning point in codifying Bordeaux’s greatest estates by price and prestige.
This promises to be an evening of lively discussion, fascinating tales, refined pours and rare insights into one of the world’s most unique collections.
