Bemerkungen

Sehr gutes Exemplar mit geringfügigen Gebrauchsspuren. Beigelegt eine Einladungskarte für den Champagne Club. Sprache: Englisch. / EN: Very good copy with minor signs of wear. - Enclosed an invitation card for the Champagne Club. Language: English. - „The world of Champagne is in constant ferment. Vintages come and go but the yeasts work their special Champagne magic every second of the year. Every Champagne grower and every Champagne house works with one single appellation. Which is why we are all so different. Together, we form a mosaic of styles. It takes a very perceptive outsider to create a coherent picture of this complex, ever-changing scene. Richard Juhlin, a young Swedish Champagne specialist, is just such a man. Widely noted for his prowess in blind tastings (he can pinpoint vintages and house styles with enviable ease) he has devoted countless hours exploring our region - its vineyards, producers, varieties, and wines.To the world's most festive and light-hearted wine he has dedicated a work that contrives to be serious but not solemn. His book mirrors the fascination and complexity of Champagne. His effervescent prose leads us into a voyage of discovery of the region. Only a few enduring works exist on the subject of Champagne. This work is an addition to this body of literature. And it is noteworthy for being the first to emanate from Scandinavia. If any truly universal language exists, it is the raising of a glass of Champagne. I do so now and the toast is.
