AN INEVITABLE GUIDE, A UNIQUE CONCEPT Between pleasure and emotion First the result of a rigorous selection, in total independence, this Champagnes guide aims at highlighting Champagnes of high-end expression, source of intense emotions and pleasure when tasted. These 100 Champagnes represent a terroir, a genuine savoir-faire, and a true passion. Here, no ranking, hierarchy, marks, blind tastings, intended to reassure the reader and be a proof of honesty and exactitude. How can we give a mark to a pleasure, an emotion? No, just “Favourites” that translate the emotions and pleasure felt by the tasters who, on the contrary, have the maximum of information about the tasted Champagne, to better explain and comprehend it as a whole. This guide offers a new approach, unique, enthusiast and logical, far from the tradiotnal tasting comments that assess and rank the Champagnes. Here the key words are discovery and openmindedness. e goal is absolutely not to judge but to understand the selected Champagne, and above all to meet the producer and comprehend his approach, perceive his inspiration. The objective clearly is to set Champagne back in its real place, to consider it as a cultural product, a piece of art, the result of the encounter between a terroir and men, to highlight the savoir-faire, the talent and the enological creativity of the Champagne makers. Directed by Michel VERON, enologist, enology teacher at Lycée Viticole de la Champagne since more than 20 years, this book is the fruit of his passion for the tasting of Champagnes and his long experience enriched by many encounters with the Champagne makers.

THE GUIDE Between pleasure and emotion Fathom the secrets of the best Champagnes crafting! After a whole year of intense but cheering work, of rich encounters and unforgettable tastings, oenologist and oenology teacher at the viticultural high school of Champagne (Avize Viti Campus) Michel VERON unveils his 2015 VERON Champagne Guide: release scheduled on October 2014. The fifth edition of this reference book, loyal to its concept, reveals the secrets of the crafting of 100 vetted Champagnes. Champagne is part of France's and the world's cultural and gastronomic heritage. After a rigorous selection of the Champagnes, like the previous years, the objective is clearly to place Champagne back in its real place, that of a noble, living beverage, created by craftsmen, artists: the cellar masters, wine growers and oenologists. Far from rigid, arbitrary and simplistic criteria, curiosity and leniency helped rare, sometimes confidential, Champagnes to meet the great classics within this guide for the greatest pleasure of the tasters. Just like the previous years, far from the blind tastings, falsely objective and always favouring the most powerful Champagnes, the Champagnes have been tasted and commented with a maximum of information (about their technical characteristics and crafting process) and open-mindedness, to comprehend their organoleptic complexity. No marks or rating: would one ever think of giving a mark to a master painting? Published in two versions (French and English), in partnership with the magazine Sommeliers International, this guide now appears as an inevitable tool to choose Champagne. THE AUTHOR Michel VERON, oenologist, graduate of the University of Dijon in Burgundy, is an Oenology teacher at the viticultural high school of Champagne since 23 years. This book is born from his passion for Champagne tastings and from his long experience enriched by many encounters with Champagne vintners.
