Bursting Bubbles: A Secret History of Champagne & The Rise of The Great Growers

"... the most refreshing, pretension-pricking, myth-busting and amusingly unfrothy book on the subject I've read." Andrew Jefford

"In the tradition of Kermit Lynch's Adventures on the Wine Route, Bursting Bubbles is a wonderful and informed exploration of the best grower Champagnes and the characters who make them. It shatters old myths and reveals new truths, making Champagne - the place and the wine - as intriguing, beautiful and magical as ever." Andrea Frost

" Can't recommend Bursting Bubbles on the rise of grower Champagne enough" Dan Keeling

Author: Robert Walters. The rise and rise of a group of artisanal producers in Champagne over the last twenty years has challenged everything we thought we knew about this famous region. In Bursting Bubbles, Robert Walters takes us on a journey to visit these great growers. Along the way, he reveals a secret history of Champagne and dispels many of the myths that still persist about this celebrated wine style. Controversial and ground breaking, Bursting Bubbles will change the way you think about Champagne.
