"Champagne: A Sparkling Discovery" by Pieter Verheyde

A complete reference work on Champagne: firstly, the book covers everything on the region, the history, the terroir, the color of Champagne and its evolution. Secondly, Pieter Verheyde offers an overview of the 10 absolute top brands, 35 medium-sized renowned Champagne houses, but also 20 lesser known yet high-quality Champagnes for which he has a personal preference. In addition, Pieter suggests a number of Champagne routes and includes all practical information needed to visit the houses.
