France Vinicole (1945) is an exceptional and beautifully designed map by Louis Larmat that illustrates the wine-producing regions of France at the end of the Second World War. Published in Paris, this map is part of a celebrated series of viticultural works by Louis Larmat, whose contributions to the documentation of French vineyards remain highly regarded among both collectors and wine historians.

The map provides a comprehensive overview of France’s major wine regions, from Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne to the Loire Valley, Rhône, Alsace, and Provence. Each region is carefully delineated, with appellations and vineyard zones clearly marked, offering a precise visual guide to the geography of French viticulture. Beyond its practical use, the map also celebrates the cultural heritage of wine, underscoring its importance as both an economic resource and a cornerstone of French identity.

Decorative elements enrich the map, including elegant borders, typographic flourishes, and occasionally symbolic motifs evoking the tradition and prestige of winemaking. Produced in the immediate postwar years, France Vinicole also reflects a moment of renewal, when the restoration of vineyards and the reestablishment of France’s global reputation for fine wines were of national importance.

Larmat’s work is distinguished not only by its cartographic clarity but also by its artistic presentation, blending scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. For collectors, wine enthusiasts, and historians, this map stands as both a functional reference and a work of art, encapsulating the legacy of French viticulture at a pivotal moment in the 20th century.
