About the Item
The 1943 original map by L. Larmat from the "Atlas de la France Vinicole" series, titled "Les vins des Côtes du Rhône - Groupe Méridional", is a significant cartographic depiction of the southern vineyards of the Rhône wine region. This map was published by Dorel in Paris during the German occupation of France in World War II, making it not only an informative and technical resource but also a historical artifact from a tumultuous time.
The map focuses on the southern section of the Côtes du Rhône, known as the "Groupe Méridional", which extends from Montélimar to the city of Avignon. This part of the Rhône Valley is renowned for producing some of the most famous and widely appreciated wines in the world, including the iconic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Tavel, among others. The wines in this region are predominantly red, made from a blend of grape varieties including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan, as well as some highly regarded rosés and white wines.
Larmat's map is a detailed representation of the southern Rhône's geography, terroir, and wine-growing areas. It highlights the key villages and towns that are integral to the production of the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) wines in the region. The cartographic precision of the map showcases the topography, including rivers, hills, and valleys, that are essential to the unique climatic and soil conditions that define the terroirs of the southern Rhône.
The map provides clear delineations of the various wine appellations, showing the boundaries between famous wine-growing areas such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac, Cairanne, Beaumes-de-Venise, and Rasteau, to name a few. Larmat's work emphasizes the rich diversity of terroirs within the southern Rhône, where variations in soil composition, exposure to sunlight, and the influence of the Mistral wind all contribute to the distinctive character of the wines from each area.
In addition to its geographical and technical accuracy, the map is an artistic achievement, with careful attention to detail in its design. The use of soft colors, subtle shading, and elegant typography gives it a decorative quality, making it both a functional tool for wine professionals and a beautiful visual representation for collectors and enthusiasts. The intricate design of the map also reflects the depth of knowledge and respect for the French wine tradition that Larmat brought to his work.
The Groupe Méridional region is historically significant in French viticulture, with winemaking traditions that date back centuries. The area’s close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea and its warm, sunny climate have made it one of the most prolific wine-producing regions in France. Larmat’s map captures the essence of this rich winemaking culture at a time when France, under occupation, was struggling to maintain its identity and traditions.
This 1943 map, published during World War II, also serves as a testament to the resilience of France’s cultural heritage. Despite the immense challenges faced during the war, French winemakers continued to cultivate their vineyards, and Larmat’s work in documenting the viticultural landscape during this period stands as a symbol of national pride and continuity.
Today, this map is highly valued by collectors, wine connoisseurs, and historians alike. It provides an insightful look into the wine regions of the southern Rhône during the early 20th century, offering both a historical perspective and an appreciation for the enduring legacy of French winemaking. The "Les vins des Côtes du Rhône - Groupe Méridional" map is not only a tool for understanding the complex geography and terroir of the region but also a beautiful piece of art that reflects the enduring importance of wine to France’s cultural identity.
