Effervescence
As an introduction to the approach used for the qualitative confrontation of the world's best sparkling wines, we have accepted the definition of "effervescent wines" found in the 1988 edition of the Dictionnaire du Vin (in French):
An effervescent wine is one that releases carbon dioxide bubbles at its surface.

Découverte de la Dégustation du Champagne
Art, Science et Plaisir
De Carine Herbin et Joël Rochard
An excellent initiative has recently come to our attention thanks to its serious approach and its originality. We commend the publication in French of the first book devoted solely to the tasting of Champagne and other sparkling wines: “La dégustation du champagne: art, science et plaisir” (Champagne Tasting: Art, Science and Pleasure) by two enologists, C. Herbin and J. Rochard.
This richly illustrated book, which contains exercise sheets, diagrams and examples, will enable both wine lovers and professionals to:
- Better understand the specificities of Champagne: its complexity, the mystery of its bubbles and its heady aromas.
- Initiate themselves in Champagne tasting: attentive analysis of the different sensorial stimulations, the ceremonial aspects of Champagne service, how to express the pleasure of tasting Champagne as well as numerous practical exercises.
- Expand their vocabulary: more than 900 specialized terms in French and English.
