“Thirsting to know more and more, I keep returning to Champagne. Based on my personal experience, I share with you the essentials of 65 estates I appreciate and love. Additionally, I introduce you to my favourite restaurants, wine shops and hotels in the region. Also the Champenois, winemakers and cellar masters, share their insider tips on how to make the most of your time in Champagne. Bienvenue en Champagne!”

Foreword to the book has been written by Champagne Dom Pérignon’s cellar master Richard Geoffroy. Photographs are taken by the native Champenois Michael Boudot.

 

What the others say:

 

‘In short, if you want a solid reference for Champagne that will serve you well for some years to come, this is your book.’

 

Miquel Hudin, www.wineonsix.com

 

‘There is a lot packed into the 352 pages of this mid-sized but weighty book. From a purely aesthetic point of view, Michael Boudot’s photography is seriously classy and as well as snapping the inevitably glamorous side of champagne, he’s captured some joyful, unguarded moments in the vineyard as well as beautiful portraits of cellar masters and producers. Tuija Jantunen’s maps (oh so very important) are clean, concise and crystal clear. The book itself is structured in a way that is both easy to read through, and logical enough to use as a reference guide or a travel guide.’

The book was launched on April 22th 2017
