Champagne

From the expert behind the top-rated resource ChampagneGuide.net comes this groundbreaking guide to the modern wines of Champagne, presented in a stunning box set, complete with vintage maps in a pull-out drawer.

Description

Champagne is one of the most iconic, sought-after wines in the world, beloved by serious wine collectors as well as everyday wine drinkers. However, Champagne is also one of the most misunderstood wines out there—obscured by a multimillion-pound marketing industry that makes it difficult for consumers to honestly judge value and understand what they're drinking.

Based on six years of on-the-ground research and unprecedented access to actual Champagne growers, Champagne is the first book to actually describe producers and wines based on their terroir. It enlightens readers by showing them exactly where, how, and by whom these great wines are made.

Included in the stunning box set are the Louis Larmat vinicultural maps—the only detailed wine maps of the region, which were commissioned by the French government in the mid-1940s and have never appeared in print in English.
