1 x Veuve Clicquot 1988
1 x Moet & Chandon 1978
Vintage Champagne is a rarity, only about 10% of the total production of the region. On average the producers will declare about three out of every ten years. The producers themselves declare the vintage for the house, there is no “regional announcement” or vintage decree. This means that even on “off” vintages such as 2003 you might have a few houses that escaped the bad weather and produce a vintage product (such was the case for Moet & Chandon, which produced a 2003 Dom Perignon). This also means that in great vintages, such as 1996, you’ll have nearly every house produce vintage wine.
1988 Classically structured, concentrated wines with sufficient acidity for long ageing The wines are powerful and well structured, but were not as immediately appealing. However, time has shown them to be rich in fruit, stylish and well balanced. Most are drinking superbly now.
1978 Not a classic vintage with the harvest producing more lean and higher acidity wines. Good houses will carry through.
