Hugh Johnson

The Englishman Hugh Johnson (born 1939) is today regarded worldwide as the leading wine author and one of the best known tasters. He is director of the famous Château Latour Premier Cru Classé winery in Médoc, France, and co-owner of the Australian Coldstream Hills winery.

Already in 1966, with his first book "Wine", Johnson achieved a leading position among wine journalists. His most successful works are: The Wine Atlas, The Great Johnson, The Little Johnson and Hugh Johnson Wine History. After numerous honours, including the coveted literature prize of the Academy of Bordeaux (1987), Hugh Johnson was awarded the highest award of the German Gastronomic Academy, the Carl-Friedrich-von-Rumohr-Ring, in 1998 in recognition of his complete oeuvre.
