Edward Kaukoranta - Independent Writer, an expert on Champagne
As a kid, the only Champagne I got to see was in the movies, I became fascinated by how James Bond drank those, oh so fine bubbles. In 2001, when I was 16 years old, I tasted my first Champagne. After turning 18, in November 2003, I started drinking Champagne wherever and whenever it was possible. Always seeking new labels to try, and new tastes to discover. In 2004, I bought my first bottle of Dom Pérignon, the vintage 1995. Thereafter, I have followed the development of each new vintage of Dom Pérignon. In autumn 2008, I tasted Dom Pérignon 1992 Œnothèque, the Champagne that changed my life, it was the most elegant, most intense wine I’d ever had. How was it even possible that wine could make me feel like that? The very next day, I began to hunt for mature vintages of Champagne.

In Spring 2013, quit my day job and moved to Reims, Champagne. That led me to find Artisan Champagnes. The two and a half years there widened my view of Champagne, allowing me to understand the terroir I walked on, the philosophy of the people who cultivate their vineyards and why and how they make their cuvées. In April 2018, sharing a bottle of 1985 Dom Pérignon with Richard Geoffroy the Chef-de-Cave of Dom Pérignon (1990 - 2018), was a dream come true and I got so many answers to my questions from our conversations.

In Autumn 2019, my friend happened to mention that he would love to read a book about my Dom Pérignon experiences. Four years later in November 2023, at the age of 38, this book is my journey; A sacred mission to drink all the vintages of Dom Pérignon ever made. I have tasted each vintage within the book at least once and some vintages as many as over 50 times since 2005 with the current exception being the 1953 and the 1921. The bottles I had collected and cherished for years have now been photographed within this book.
