The Champagne Guide 2018-2019

Description

The best guide ever published on Champagne. — Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald

An incredible distillation of details, covering maisons to small producers, what to know and what to buy (across price points) with tasting notes and explanatory words that won’t overfill your glass with too much waffle. — GQ Australia, Jan 2018

Wine snobs jog on—it’s all ’bout the bubbly. From Barons de Rothschild to Bollinger, it’ll help you pick the best drop. — Cosmopolitan
