Product Description

Synopsis

With a staggering four thousand tasting notes, this is the ultimate guide to the effervescent drink. In the most complete review of champagne producers ever written, 443 champagne houses-from the smallest to the most famous-are presented and evaluated through tastings of their different champagnes, which are categorized in an all-important grading system. Giving the reader the benefit of his in-depth knowledge of the region, author Richard Juhlin closely examines every aspect of this vast subject, from the production process, the different kinds of champagne and grape varieties, to food matches and how to read a champagne label. Written in a bubbly tone to match his subject matter, this renowned champagne expert shares his expertise through comments, tips, and personal recommendations, along with practical information for the champagne tourist to enjoy this magnificent area to the fullest. The volume is completed by informative and comprehensive appendixes that include interesting statistics, useful addresses, and an indispensable glossary.

Exploring not only the wine but also the region, its sights, and its history, 4000 Champagnes offers the reader a complete vision of the history and culture of the world famous bubbly. The scope is equally extended to include sparkling wines from other regions of France - the Southwest, Loire Valley, Burgundy, and Alsace - as well as from all over the globe, from Italy, Spain, and Germany, to the United States, Austalia, and New Zealand. Illustrated with maps, drawings, and color photographs, this volume is a sparkling tribute to the most luxurious of beverages.

5.0 out of 5 stars The comprehensive guide to Champagne, 22 May 2007
By F. Landergren "Totte" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Travelling in Champagne visiting champagne houses as well as growers they all have one thing in common; they all refer to Richard Juhlin as the golden palate of Champagne. In ten short years Richard have emerged as the authority in champagne tasting. Richard early decided on putting as much effort in charting the anonymus growers wines as well as the established houses. Richard have tasted well over 5,000 different champagnes with a bottle of Pol Roger 1928 identified as the greatest ever. With the guidance of Richard Juhlin you will find it easy to differentiate between the 200 champagne houses standard wines, vintage wines and prestige wines. You will be guided to the thousands of growers equally good alternatives, and you will find bargains at a fraction of the prices charged by the great champagne houses. Remember that most of the champagnes produced by the champagne houses is made from grapes from the growers, so when they start to bottle their own champagnes... You can use this book as a guide to champagne, as a buyers guide to champagne. You can also enjoy it simply as a good read and an introduction to one of the most mythical and well tasting of all the wine regions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Champagne lovers bible, 9 Dec 2007
By Rhiannon (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
Richard Juhlin is often the subject of conversation when my husband and I visit Paris, a treat we enjoy whenever possible. Champagne, like fine fur, is one of life's true luxuries. It's not for everyone, but for those who truly appreciate this ambrosia, 4000 Champagnes is an absolute must buy reference book. Sabrage on the Champs-Elysées, Heaven!
