About this title

Synopsis

JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER • A rare and indispensable resource that beautifully documents the Champagne region, this luxurious boxed set includes a pullout tray with a complete set of seven vintage vineyard maps by Louis Larmat.

“A welcome, essential guide that succeeds in transporting our understanding of Champagne into the twenty-first century.”—Eric Asimov, New York Times

From Peter Liem, the lauded expert behind the top-rated online resource ChampagneGuide, comes this groundbreaking guide to the modern wines of Champagne—a region that in recent years has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in the wine-growing world. With extensive grower and vintner profiles, as well as a fascinating look at Champagne’s history and lore, Champagne explores this legendary wine as never before.

WINNER OF THE ANDRÉ SIMON DRINK BOOK AWARD AND THE IACP COOKBOOK AWARD

“A beautiful book [that focuses] on champagne not as a luxury tipple but as serious wine, expressive of the place where it is grown rather than the lifestyle of the person drinking it.”—Dave McIntyre, The Washington Post
