Veron champagnes guide 2016

An inevitable guide, a unique concept
Between pleasure and emotion

Even if it is first the fruit of an ever more rigorous selection, in total
independence, this Champagnes Guide is above all an essential book that
accompanies the amateur of Champagnes in his discovery of the infinite
wealth of the Champagne area through the 107 selected cuvées .
The VERON Champagnes Guide takes you into its unlimited quest of
the fabulous diversity of the Champagne area and invites you to penetrate the
secrets of the creation of the cuvées , traditional Champagnes, extraordinary
gems, inevitable classics or prestigious Champagnes. The aim is certainly
not to judge the selected Champagne, but rather to grasp, to understand the
technical, viticultural and oenological approach, the philosophy, the intuition
that guided its producer. The VERON Champagnes Guide therefore
abstains from marking and ranking. It is also an opportunity for a real
initiatory route through the Champagne area for the students of the Lycée
Viticole de la Champagne, future Champagne professionals, who take part in
selection tastings.
While the hillsides, Houses and wine cellars of Champagne are just
entering into the UNESCO World Heritage, the objective is ambitious : to
put the Champagne back in its proper place, the one of a real cultural and
gastronomic French and global heritage.
Realized by Michel VERON in Champagne, oenologist and oenology
teacher at Lycée Viticole de la Champagne since 1991, this book, available
in French and in English, is the fruit of his passion for the tasting of
Champagnes, of his long experience enriched by many exchanges with the
Champagne makers and of his thirst for discovery : "Every explorer knows
it, the most exciting is what is left to discover" Doctor Sylvestre Maurice -
Astrophysicist.
