Champagne from the Sky (French edition) by Michel Jolyot

The Champagne Seen from the Sky by Michel Jolyot is much more than a book; it is an immersive experience in the Champagne region, viewed from an unprecedented angle. For more than 30 hours of flight, Michel Jolyot flew over the 319 communes of the Champagne appellation and captured about 12,000 spectacular photographs. This meticulous work offers us a unique perspective on this world-renowned wine region.

The book highlights the diversity of landscapes in Champagne, from the vast expanses of vineyards meticulously planted by winemakers over generations to the geometric plots stretching as far as the eye can see. The Champagne Seen from the Sky invites us to contemplate the beauty of the swirls formed by the paths, the solitary huts lost in the vastness of the vineyards, and the charming villages nestled in the countryside.

Each photograph testifies to the harmony between agriculture and viticulture, between the castles, chapels, and majestic rivers that wind through the region. The contrasts between untamed nature and vineyards shaped by human hands are revealed through the author's eyes. This visual journey pays tribute to the passion of the winemakers and the cultural richness of this land.

The author, Michel Jolyot, expresses in this book his deep love for Champagne:

"I am charmed by the diversity of landscapes and reliefs, the rigor with which the winemakers have planted the vines generation after generation, the geometry of the plots, the swirls drawn by the paths, the solitude of the huts lost in the vastness, these charming villages, the castles and chapels nestled in the greenery, the harmonious contrasts between agriculture and viticulture, the majesty of the winding rivers... I love Champagne!"

This book is an invitation to discover and rediscover Champagne, an iconic region of France, in a completely new way, from the air.
