Champagne, with its unparalleled magic, is the quintessential emblem of sophistication, celebration, and unbridled pleasure. As one of the most rigorously protected wine appellations, it contributes to France’s art de vivre and adds to its global prominence and prestige. Since the turn of the 18th century, visionary champagne producers have led the charge in opening up new markets and developing local terroirs.How did the devil's wine transform into the blessed nectar of the gods? Champagne, whether crafted by independent vignerons or produced by legendary houses, remains an international success that outshines all other sparkling wines on Earth. In this unique selection curated by World's Best Sommelier Enrico Bernardo, you'll find exceptional vintages and a range of recent releases, spanning three centuries and illustrated with various tasting experiences, insightful tips, and fascinating anecdotes. Bernardo spotlights the most remarkable bottles ever produced, all united by the impossibility of having them all together in one cellar at once, hence the book's title. This edition, presented in a wooden box, is hand-bound and luxuriously crafted with hand-tipped labels, making it a must-have for champagne enthusiasts.
Enrico Bernardo gained fame for his work at the Four Seasons George V's Le V restaurant and received the Best Sommelier of the World award in 2004. He is a restaurateur who has created and owned multiple Michelin-starred restaurants, with a focus on pairing the perfect wine with each dish.
