is made from the grapes of only one year’s harvest, whereas non-vintage Champagne is a blend of different years’ harvest, providing more of a continuous house style through the blending of various harvests.
Only a very good quality year will be used to produce a vintage champagne.
Vintage Champagnes must be aged for a minimum of three years in the bottle, as opposed to 15 months for non-vintage versions, whilst most of our grower producer exceed this legal requirement by far.
