Champagne [Boxed Book & Map Set]

Champagne is one of the most iconic, sought-after wines in the world, beloved by serious wine collectors as well as everyday wine drinkers. However, Champagne is also one of the most misunderstood wines out there—obscured by a multibillion-dollar marketing industry that makes it difficult for consumers to honestly judge value and understand what they’re drinking. Enter Champagne, a revolutionary new book from trusted authority Peter Liem. Based on years of on-the-ground research and unprecedented access to actual Champagne growers, Champagne is the first book to actually describe producers and wines based on their terroir—enlightening readers by showing them exactly where, how, and by whom these great wines are made. A comprehensive buyer’s guide helps wine buyers navigate the sparkling wine aisle, and never-before-published maps of every vineyard in the region make this the definitive resource for any wine lover.
