Vintage Champagne
Vintage Champagne is, of course, the product of one single year. But more than that, Vintage Champagnes are special selections from the best vintages, and are aged for longer (legally at least 3 years, usually more) prior to degorgement. They tend to be more complex, deeper more vinous experiences than non-vintage and have some capacity for further ageing.
