The Champagne Guide tells you everything you need to know about how the exquisite French sparkling wine is grown and made, as well as information about what to buy, and how to store, serve and open it, all for less than the price of a bottle of Champagne! The 2016–2017 edition is fully updated, with all-new tasting notes and for the first time, a section on vintages has been included.
The Champagne Guide offers fully independent assessments, and frank commentary on the issues facing Champagne. The Champagne Hall of Honour ranks the best producers and the best cuvees at all price points. With extensive notes on each producer, information on cellar doors, family and producer histories and colour photography thoughout, this is the ultimate guide to bring this historic French region to your doorstep.
