The Novel of Champagne Wine (French Edition) by Daniel Pierrejean

For over three centuries, no wine has had a destiny as unique as Champagne wine. This mythical beverage, born from a miracle attributed to Dom Pérignon, has become both the wine of kings and the king of wines. In The Tale of Champagne Wine, Daniel Pierrejean, a jurist, historian, and writer, offers a fascinating and well-documented fresco of this extraordinary wine epic.

From the emergence of the first houses like Ruinart in 1729, to the rise of major brands such as Moët, the author recounts how this sparkling wine established itself as a symbol of prestige, celebration, and luxury. With over 300 million bottles produced each year on barely 33,000 hectares, the Champagne designation has become one of the economic and cultural pillars of the French vineyard.

Throughout the pages, the work also explores the role of blending, this delicate alchemy that gives Champagne its uniqueness, as well as the contemporary challenges of the sector: climate change, adaptation of grape varieties, sustainable production issues, and the future of the major houses.

The author broadens his reflection to the cultural and social dimension of Champagne, mentioning its status in major celebrations, its presence in the arts, and its association with significant life moments.

An enriching read for all wine enthusiasts, history buffs, and those curious about the French wine heritage.
