On Champagne. A Tapestry of Tales to Celebrate the Greatest Sparkling Wine of all - Susan Keevil

In `On Champagne,` a collection of insights and perspectives from esteemed champagne writers, we embark on a captivating journey tracing the extraordinary trajectory of this iconic wine. From its unexpected discovery in the cider cellars of England – rather than in France as commonly believed – to the creation of a cutting-edge champagne designed for space travel, the book unveils the fascinating evolution of champagne. Along the way, we delve into the intricacies of its chalky terroir, the rebellious spirit of visionaries from Ambonnay to Avize, and the enigma of an underwater champagne cellar. We encounter the pioneers who crafted the great champagnes of the past and the trailblazers who are nurturing and adapting this renowned region in the face of climate change, shaping the exquisite champagnes of the future.
