** Winner of the Fortnum & Mason Debut Drink Book Award and the Gourmand Award:Best in the World. Runner up at the Louis Roederer International Wine Book of the Year 2018 award and André Simon Best drinks book of the year award **
Now available in paperback, 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.
Latest reviews
Bursting Bubbles by Robert Walters is the most provocative wine book Ive read in a while.
Henry Jeffreys, taken from his article in The Guardian, 'The best books on drink of 2017'
'A brilliant and appealing book and the story it tells is fascinating and compelling leaving me thirsty to try some of the wines that are its subject.'
Tim James, Wine Mag
'There's much to agree with in this book. It is well written and researched, a pleasure to read and Walters argues his case persuasively. Most importantly... it communicates a joy and enthusiasm for good Champagne. I whole-heartedly recommend it.'
Huon Hooke, theRealReview.com
Testimonials
'...the most refreshing, pretension-pricking, myth-busting and amusingly unfrothy book on the subject I've read'
Andrew Jefford (multi-award-winning author of The New France and columnist and contributing editor for both Decanter and The World of Fine Wine)
'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 (award-winning author of Through a Sparkling Glass and columnist for TimAtkin.com and The World of Fine Wine)
'Rob Walters approach to Champagne (and to wine in general and to life!) in this beautifully written book is so cheerful and entertaining that one risks not realising how thoughtful and informative it is as well - a risk that I would advise any wine lover to take without hesitation'
Jesús Barquín (award-winning co-author of The Finest Wines of Rioja and Northwest Spain and Sherry, Manzanilla and Montilla, and the co-founder of Equipo Navazos)
