香檳權威 Peter Liem 推薦

從我數次拜訪亞洲以來，我發現這裡的葡萄酒愛好者們，對於香檳鑑賞與瞭解呈現高度成長；而這一切，在很大程度上歸功於David作為進口商、零售商與教育推廣者的努力不懈。在這套書中，David將畢生所學傾囊相授，字字句句經過精雕細琢，其內容涵蓋關於香檳一系列綜合主題，不論在深度與廣度上都令人感到驚艷，這一套香檳巨作無疑是華文世界前所未見的，將提供消費者們在未來選購香檳上極具參考價值的指引。

“From my visits to Asia I’ve seen how rapidly the appreciation and understanding of champagne has grown among wine lovers there, due in no small part to David’s tireless work as an importer, retailer and educator. With this book, David has created a wonderful resource that is impressive for both its breadth and depth of information, and that is surely the first of its kind in Chinese. It’s thoughtfully written and carefully researched, covering a comprehensive array of topics within the world of champagne, and it will undoubtedly be an invaluable reference for consumers for many years to come.”

北美香檳推廣先驅 Terry Theise 推薦

香檳 — 一個鮮少以此作為主題深入研究，始終被大眾誤解而壟罩著一層神秘面紗的產區。David的這套書籍成功地聚焦在香檳區的風土、生產者以及他們的酒款上，將他作為零售商與釀酒師的一切所學融會貫通，以深入淺出的方式傳遞給大眾，為香檳區再添一套經典著作。多麼令人眼睛為之一亮的一套巨作！David 孜孜不倦的研究精神著實令人激賞，這套書籍肯定會成為香檳愛好者與專業人士之間廣為流傳的必備指南。

“The world of Champagne can never have too much light shone upon it, and David Pan’s book joins a pantheon of recent books on this still misunderstood region, its producers, and its wines, bringing all the skills he’s learned as a winemaker and retailer to the task of conveying the intricacies of Champagne to a new audience. What a joy, that Champagne is attracting researchers and writers with David Pan’s command of detail, alongside his great acumen and thoroughness.”

葡萄酒大師兼《Decanter》布根地與香檳專職作家 Charles Curtis MW 推薦

我被David新書的不凡細節與至高品質感到震驚不已。這套著作是亞洲每一位香檳愛好者書房裡不可或缺的典藏之一，也是香檳書叢裡的傑出成就之一。而我特別折服於書中在香檳生產技術與生產者鑑賞篇幅中的每個細節與深度。

“I cannot help but be struck by the exceptional detail and very high production values of the new work by David Pan.  This looks like an essential element to the wine library of any champagne-loving Asian collector and a marvelous achievement for the Champagne literature.  I am particularly struck by the depth of detail in both the technical and connoisseurship sections dealing with the producers.”

亞太區最年輕 MW Sarah Heller 推薦

David Pan在亞洲葡萄酒圈內聲名遠播，長久以來致力於推廣以風土為導向的葡萄酒，最初是從布根地開始，然後擴展到香檳區。這套書籍將打破人們把香檳區整體視為一個品牌的迷思，透過詳盡地圖與生產者資訊，系統化為各位讀者闡述各家生產商之間技術差異，使我們對於所喜愛的酒款擁有更加全方位認識，進而發掘出其他風格相仿類型酒品。尤其本書將以繁體中文出版，對於廣大的華語圈香檳愛好者來說，絕對是一大福音！

“David Pan has been a familiar name in Asian wine circles for many years now for his passionate advocacy of terroir-specific wines, initially Burgundy and increasingly the ever-more Burgundian wines of Champagne.  His magnum opus brings a site-led approach to a region that historically has been understood in terms of brands.  By providing clear maps that place the great growers in a geographic context and carefully detailing the technical differences between wines in each producer’s portfolio, David gives his readers the tools to truly understand the wines they have enjoyed and empowers them to find other wines they may likewise enjoy.  That this resource will be available in Chinese is a boon to the greater Chinese champagne lover community, which is expanding at a rapid clip!”

台灣人最熟悉的葡萄酒大師 Mark Pygott 推薦

在我認識David的過去十年中，我能感受到他對香檳的喜愛近乎狂熱，並且從未消停。如今，他將這份熱情化為實體，傾盡所有地完成這套以香檳區為主題的曠世巨作。他希望為那些初來乍到的香檳愛好者們，提供一個更容易了解此產區的途徑；而對於經驗豐富的玩家們，也能從中得到回饋。創作的過程也許十分艱辛，但這一切都將變得非常值得。

“Over the last decade that I have known David Pan, his ever-expanding interest, enthusiasm and passion for the wines of Champagne have resulted in one of the most comprehensive books yet written on the subject. His desire to make this complex region accessible to those new to the subject, has been achieved without sacrificing the book’s usefulness to the more seasoned Champagne lover. A labour of love perhaps, but one worth every keystroke.“
