The 1941 Bordeaux Wine Region map by Louis Larmat is a remarkable cartographic and oenological achievement, representing one of the finest visual interpretations of France’s most prestigious wine-producing area. Louis Larmat, renowned for his dedication to mapping the great wine regions of France, created this detailed and elegant map during a period when the importance of terroir and viticultural classification was gaining increasing prominence.

This map offers a comprehensive view of the Bordeaux region, clearly delineating its celebrated sub-regions: Médoc, Graves, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Sauternes, Entre-Deux-Mers, and others. Each appellation is precisely defined, with vineyard areas intricately outlined, reflecting the complex classification systems, including the 1855 Grand Cru Classé system for Médoc and Sauternes, and later classifications such as Graves and Saint-Émilion.

Larmat’s map is not merely a geographic tool—it is a visual narrative of soil composition, vineyard orientation, and microclimatic conditions, all of which contribute to the unique character of Bordeaux wines. Rivers such as the Garonne, Dordogne, and Gironde estuary play a central role in the layout, emphasizing their influence on the region’s climate and trade.

The map is distinguished by its artistic detailing, featuring elegant typography, decorative cartouches, and symbolic vineyard illustrations that blend scientific accuracy with aesthetic sophistication. It was intended to educate and inform wine merchants, connoisseurs, and collectors, while also serving as a promotional instrument for the French wine industry.

Larmat’s 1941 map stands today as both an oenological reference and a work of art, preserving the identity of Bordeaux’s wine heritage. It captures the essence of the region’s tradition, prestige, and terroir, making it an invaluable piece for anyone interested in the history and culture of fine wine.
