The best champagne book out there!
This a the definitive guide to of the top champagne houses and most of the artisnal growers. This author is not biased against growers as Tom Stevenson is and I think thats good for the consumer who wants the best bang for there buck. The amount of current information in this book is great. If you're looking for older bottle information then you should look elsewhere as this book only pertains to whats in the current market. Some of his ratings of grower champagnes houses seem a little puzzling ( Selosse 8 out 10 ), but thats just his opinion I guess.

Author does an excellent job of describing many champagne houses
Author does an excellent job of describing many champagne houses, their methods and styles, current trends in the champagne world. . His ratings are, of course, subjective, as are all ratings. This book is written for the knowledgeable consumer and I would recommend that if you aren't a cognoscenti that you read "Champagne for Dummies" first. Its title is a little misleading because it is a fine primer on the subject. The Champagne Guide is a wonderful reference for up to date information on the champagne world.

A really comprehensive book about Champagne, the wine and the region in an easy reading style
This is a really comprehensive book and all the champagnes have been tasted recently. I have tried a lot of the champagnes and agree with Tyson's rankings. I bought the previous edition as well so glad to get hold of this updated version. Really recommend buying the book if you want to know more about champagne, the wines and the region. I also really like Tyson's writing style - it is very detailed and gives you all the information about champagne without being snobby or pretentious.

An absolute must for Champagne aficionados and collectors!
I bought this book based on recommendation. The person who recommended it is in the restaurant space.I shared with him a bottle of 2003 Dom Perignon rosé. While the wine failed to impress for €240, the book did not! It answered all of my questions on the color, body, finish, vintage, lack of acidity, etc.A great reference book for those of you in the trade and an absolute must for Champagne aficionados and collectors!

Amazing technical information about this fascinating drink
What a book ! Amazing technical information about this fascinating drink. This australian guy is a real winewriter, not copying his colleagues but researching by himself. Sorry for Richard Juhlin who produced a very nice book, unfortunately his degustation notes are too old, some of them from 1999 !Buy the book of Mister Stelzer, probably the best on the market and I am professionnal.

Great Guide
Excellent guide, with great info and snippets of history about the Chamapgne houses. Fabulous and captivating descriptions of the wines too. Reading on kindle so I may be missing out on the illustrations but it doesn't detract from a great guide.
