If you love bubbles, don't miss the most sparkling of all Gault&Millau guides: the Livre des champagnes. In bookshops this Thursday, November 21, 2024.

Le Livre des champagnes Gault&Millau hits bookstores this Thursday, November 21, 2024, and it promises to revolutionize the way we understand the king of wines. More than just a guide, this book invites us on a true journey to the heart of the Champagne terroirs, from blending techniques to ageing secrets, to understand everything about this exceptional elixir.

"What if we relearned how to drink champagne? How about a reset of preconceived ideas that are still all too widespread?" writes Stéphane Bréhier, Editorial Director, in his editorial. These pages shake things up, reminding us that champagne deserves much more than a flute or a hasty tasting.

A book of discoveries

As the pages turn, the book dwells on unexpected pairings. "No, champagne is not just an aperitif or party wine. It's a gastronomic wine that can be enjoyed throughout a meal: with foie gras, artichokes, shellfish, or even game accompanied by rosé champagne. Every page is an ode to its complexity, its vintages, and its intimate link with time: "Champagne is like all wines, time is its best friend."

For party lovers, the book also features an elegant selection of champagne buckets, ideal for keeping the bubbles at the ideal temperature and dazzling your guests on New Year's Eve.in this new edition, you'll also find our selection of 1466 cuvées from 312 different estates. Each bottle has been tasted, commented and rated.

Le Livre des champagnes is available in bookshops and on the Gault&Millau e-boutique.
