"Champagne 456" by Gerhard Eichelmann, his tenth book on Champagne. On 768 pages, 456 producers with 2,800 champagnes are presented, all champagnes were tasted in the past two years. The sub-regions of Champagne and the most important communes are presented in detail, a glossary, a vintage overview and an updated classification round off the book. The current title is only published in German.  

Gerhard Eichelmann's last champagne title has been out of print for almost two years, now there is a completely new book! There are few, if not none, books that devote themselves so regularly and comprehensively to the evaluation of Champagne on a broad scale, which is why the Eichelmann is also considered such an important reference work, even abroad - which is why this edition appears exclusively in English for the first time. The new "Champagne" summarizes all previous champagne titles by Gerhard Eichelmann in the form of a compendium and presents over 13,000 champagnes from 1,300 producers. There is also a free downloadable app. We are very happy that so many of our winemakers are at the forefront, among the world-class and the outstanding producers!
