Mapping Champagne by Charles Curtis (Master of Wine) & Steve De Long
The great wine cartographer Louis Larmat produced the only detailed maps of Champagne in the 1940s.Charles Curtis (MW) and Steve De Long are now engaged in a modern update and expansion of Larmat's pioneering work to add to the collection.
So that the wonderfully designed maps can also be admired in our country, Champagne Characters has imported these copies directly from the USA.

Terry Theise: Part of a three-commune series of Club bottlings, in tiny quantities, and again, this arose not from dissatisfaction with the existing Clubs (which are perfect and need not be improved—cannot be) but from sheer curiosity. What’s everyone talking about with these micro-terroir wines? There’s also a Cramant wine for which the jury’s out. But this will be interesting! Disg. 3/17 it is 100% Montaigu (planted in 1951), picked 9/21 and not chaptalized. He plans to release it at year’s end, but I might suggest waiting longer, bearing in mind I tasted from a bottle disgorged in the previous couple days.
