Thanks to all my fans!

Thank you for waiting so patiently for the Champagne Club to finally become the world-leading independent platform for champagne knowledge and champagne enjoyment that we have been hoping for for over 20 years. We have finally got it together at the level we have always strived for. The gods should know that I often tore my long-non-existent hair when technology played us erratic pranks. Today we have a Dream team with world-class players in every position who with your help are ready to both offer "the champagne world's instagram" in the form of our app, as well as to provide you with all the updated information about the drink of life you can ever ask for.

My database with over 12,000+ unique tasting notes and scores will be the hub that everything revolves around, but the most important cogs in the wheel are all of you who, by sharing your own champagne experiences around the world, will enrich and steer the champagne world in the right direction towards even higher quality and even more joy and exuberant champagne enjoyment.

We in our team are extremely happy with and proud of how we have now designed Champagne Club, but we do not intend to settle down. Please give us your feedback so that we can shape the Champagne Club according to your wishes, as we strive for the same perfection that characterizes the best champagne producers. It is precisely together with the champagne producers and you champagne lovers that we create the world-leading platform. Let's create magic together!

Champagne is the language of luxury. This is your dictionary.

Richard Juhlin is the world’s number one champagne expert, most famous for his skills in blind taste tasting. Since 1998 he has held the world record for most champagne ever tasted, having tasted more than 14,000+ different unique champagnes in his lifetime.

In 2013 Juhlin was awarded the Légion d’honneur. His additional awards include the Chevalier d’Arc in 1997 and the Mérite agricole from the French Ministry of Agriculture in 2002, and in 2003 at the annual Spectacle du Monde tasting in Paris he correctly identified 43 out of 50 champagnes. Juhlin is also credited with arranging one of the greatest champagne tastings ever held, a 1999 Stockholm Millenium tasting event spotlighting 150 of the best champagnes ever made.

Juhlin is the author of nine books, including Champagne Magnum Opus, Champagne Hiking, The Great Tasting and 3,000 Champagnes, all three of which received the prize for ‘Best Book on French Wines in the World’ at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Another release, 4,000 Champagnes, received an important prize – ‘The International Champagne Writer of the Year Award’ in 2005 at The Louis Roederer International Wine Writers’ Awards at Vinexpo in 2005.

’By listing more than 12,000+ tasting notes of Champagne, Mr. Richard Juhlin has established himself as one of the best connoisseurs of Champagne in the world and one of the most influential promoters of this French know-how (savoir-faire). His outstanding work, carried out with determination for more than 20 years, has contributed significantly to the spread of Champagne in Sweden & the world, but also to the promotion of the Champagne-Ardenne region here. In appointing Richard Juhlin Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, the French authorities wanted to pay tribute to his work of passion and promotion of Champagne’

by the former French President François Hollande

‘The Mozart and Beethoven of wine today may be Robert Parker and Richard Juhlin. Robert Parker received the highest distinction in France, the Legion of Honor in 1999 from President Chirac. Richard Juhlin received the Legion of Honor from President François Hollande in 2013. As the Emperor of Austria might have said, Beethoven (and Parker) might make more noise, and Mozart (and Juhlin) may have too many notes, but both are beautiful for everyone and changed music (and wine) forever.'
