Reviews

[Randal White · Rating 3 out of 5]

"The Story of Champagne" is a book of great depth, balance, and intensity. Refined and classy. Like a bottle of Brut champagne, the book tends to be rather dry. For those whose tastes run to complexity, this would be a good fit.

I think this book could have benefited from more coherency to make the writing a bit less dry in places, but it is nevertheless a very informative summary of the history and production of champagne and accompanied by interesting photographs.

There are better, more thorough and more current books on this topic.
