The story of champagne (The Classic Wine Library)

It is extraordinary enough that one small area in north-eastern France, on the northern edge of Europeâ€™s wine-growing regions, should be capable of producing the finest sparkling wine in the world, one of the few worth discussing as a wine and not merely as a sparkling beverage. Yet champagne fascinates not only wine lovers, but also historians â€“ social, economic, political â€“ linguists, physiologists, physicists and chemists.
The long-awaited new edition of Nicholas Faithâ€™s landmark The story of champagne tells the tale of champagne from the winemakersâ€™ point of view. This classic study of the worldâ€™s greatest wine is a masterpiece of storytelling and analysis that has for decades sent readers away with renewed excitement about the different types of champagne and the landscape, geology and climate that inspire them.
The story of champagne explores the history of champagne from its origins in the seventeenth century to the high-tech industry of the twenty-first before examining the wine itself, how it is made, the crus, the vines and the harvest. Faith provides completely up-to-date statistics on wine production and consumption and finishes the book with an all-important evaluation of todayâ€™s most important producers.
The story of champagne is essential reading for anyone interested in the worldâ€™s most celebrated wine.
