"For three centuries, Champagne has been synonymous with luxury, frivolity, and elegance. A Champagne can be so many things - charming and airy, penetrating and intense, or elegant and subtly sensual. In its youth it can be sensational and when properly aged it is often deep and thought-provoking. A bewitching, sophisticated wine, it deserves to be consumed with appreciation and understanding." "4000 Champagnes is an open invitation to get to know this wine better. Richard Juhlin writes with authority and passion about the history of the wines of Champagne, methods ancient and modern, growing conditions, food matches, how to read a Champagne label, sparkling wines from around the world, a tour of the towns and villages of the region, and world-famous Champagne lovers such as Winston Churchill, James Bond, and Marilyn Monroe. The largest and groundbreaking part of the book is made up of over 4000 tastings in which the author describes each Champagne house and allots a score of 1 to 100 for each of the wine he tasted. The book also includes useful addresses, the author's "100 Best Champagnes," Champagne statistics, and an indispensable glossary, making 4000 Champagnes the ultimate guide to this effervescent drink."--BOOK JACKET.
