An updated edition of the internationally acclaimed The Champagne Guide, by the winner of the 2011 Louis Roederer International Champagne Writer of the Year Award for the 2011–2012 edition. The book contains fully independent assessments, with profiles and ratings, of over 100 champagne producers – from the smallest growers to the largest houses. The wines have all been reviewed based on current tastings and the notes are accompanied by full-colour bottle images.

The 2018–2019 edition features fully updated information on the distinction between houses and producers and how to avoid corked, stale and lightstruck champagnes. The Champagne Hall of Honour ranks the best producers in Champagne this year and the best champagnes of the year under $60, under $100, under $200, at any price, and the best blanc de blancs, rosé and low-dosage champagnes.

Michael Edwards, World of Fine Wine magazine (UK):

“A persuasive new voice.”
 
“The work has matured impressively in its enlarged coverage; for Tyson’s accurate, precise tastings of current vintages; the general fluency and infectiousness of his prose; above all, for several penetrating insights into the world of contemporary Champagne, which sets him apart as the new kid on the block with a very bright future.”
 
“What gladdens the heart is Stelzer’s literary skill in creating word-pictures of the personalities and foibles of these creative men and women, the better to understand their wines. Like all good books, when you put this one down, you feel you know the players personally in all their Champenois resilience, variety and valor.”
