I was asked to review this by Net Gallery and as someone who just loves the odd glass or two of champagne but up till now apart from a trip to Riems did not know one champagne from another except if called champagne then has to have been made in the champagne region of France.
The author spent a year in France (oh such joy) following the creation of the Krug Grande Cuvée.
What is absolutely fascinating about this book and the author's journey - is the history behind all of this. Joseph Krug who risked everything to start up his business.
The author explains the climate and the growing of the gapes which culminates in us drinking the most wonderful bubbly drink in the world.
The author writes with passion and knowledge leaving the reader more in the know than just being able to drink champagne.
A well recommended read thank you Net Gallery.
