Champagne: Impossible Collection

Champagne: Impossible Collection is a richly illustrated, bound luxury book about the history and excellence of champagne, published by Assouline and edited by Enrico Bernardo, with 236 pages. This volume celebrates champagne as an emblem of sophistication and celebration, highlighting its prominence in the French <i>art de vivre</i> and its status as one of the most globally protected wine appellations. The work explores the evolution of champagne since the 18th century, covering everything from the region's visionary producers to independent vignerons and the legendary houses that transformed it into an international success, surpassing other sparkling wines. It is one of the most remarkable coffee table books dedicated to wine culture.

Curated by the "World's Best Sommelier", Enrico Bernardo, this exclusive selection spans three centuries of exceptional champagnes. The book features notable vintages and recent releases, enriched by tasting experiences, insightful tips, and singular anecdotes. Bernardo highlights the most remarkable bottles ever produced, united by the impossibility of having them all together in a single cellar, hence the title <i>Champagne: Impossible Collection</i>. The edition is presented in a wooden case, hand-bound and luxuriously crafted with hand-applied labels, making it an essential item for champagne aficionados. This book is an ideal luxury gift that transcends mere reading, becoming a piece of art and an invitation to explore a universe of refinement.

In a dazzling addition to Assouline's Ultimate Collection, Enrico Bernardo also imagines the perfect cellar with the most exceptional wines of the 20th century in "The Impossible Collection of Wine", considering rarity, terroir, taste, and historical mystique. He celebrates exquisite vintages from around the world, such as the 1928 Krug Collection Champagne, the 1951 Penfolds Grange Bin 95, and the 1973 Stag's Leap Estate SLV, inviting the reader on a journey through history to savor an impossible collection. The <i>Champagne: Impossible Collection</i> is, therefore, a manifestation of the same spirit of curation and appreciation of extraordinary wines, and an excellent option for high-value corporate gifts.
