All the latest insights on the top 120 champagne houses, growers and coopératives. A Hall of Honour to acknowledge the best producers in Champagne this year. Highlights of all the best champagnes of the year at every price and style. Updated assessments of the past 24 vintages in Champagne. Brand new chapter on decoding champagne labels and bottling codes. Maps of the champagne villages and vineyards. All set off with photographs of the region by Tyson Stelzer and full-colour bottle images. Praise for The Champagne Guide 2020-2021: When I first reviewed Tyson Stelzer's The Champagne Guide, I marvelled at the quality of the overall package and the wealth of information it contained. Then and now it was entirely his personal knowledge, with fearlessly objective ratings. Now he has achieved the impossible, almost doubling the size of the 2018-2019 edition, with 582 gilt-edged pages. The 300,000 words within expand the scope of the information at every turn, and the amount of beautiful photography is likely to make it the only coffee-table book to show the eyeball and thumbprint traffic it will engender. It goes without saying that anyone with an interest in Champagne must have this book. - James Halliday This is the most comprehensive and finely wrought and written book on Champagne I have ever seen. Truly epic work. - Matthew Jukes THE definitive guide and authority on everything champagne. This 'bible' is beautifully presented and the immersive research invested and passion is on full show. A stunning achievement. - Luxury Wine Trails An extraordinary achievement - the depth of understanding and notes about each house and their wines is exceptional. - Mark Smith

Book Description
An inevitable Guide, An unique concept Between pleasure and emotion With this eleventh edition, the Guide VERON des Champagnes enters confidently in its second decade with an strong determination to reinvent itself. Aware of the major challenges of the 21st century, it is going digital, driven by a real desire to limit its environmental impact and to improve its carbon footprint. Thus, this Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021 will be exclusively marketed online, on Amazon, favouring the digital version (Kindle ebook) and with a paper version printed on demand in more than 100 countries of the world, in order to avoid stocks, possible unsold books to destroy and transport over long distances. New cuvées from Champagne, real œnological gem, new website, new design, the Guide VERON des Champagnes remains faithful to its concept, the one that makes its originality, by refusing to classify and mark the selected champagnes, so as not to sink into vulgarity. How to mark a pleasure or an emotion? The champagnes selected in this book, in total independence, gave place to many tastings and meetings rich in emotions with the wine growers and cellar masters which enabled to write with passion this Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021, despite the unprecedented crisis related to the coronavirus, to offer you an exciting 2021 edition. Produced in Champagne by Michel VERON, œnologist and œnology teacher at Lycée viticole de la Champagne since 1991, this book, published in French and English, was born out of his passion for champagne tasting, his long experience enriched by innumerable exchanges with the champenois wine growers and his thirst for discovery. www.guide-veron-champagne.blogspot.com Photo credits : Brigitte VERON
