Unlike non-vintage champagne, which blends wines from multiple years, vintage champagne is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single exceptional year. Each bottle is a snapshot of that year’s growing season — its weather, its terroir, and the skill of the winemaker — making every vintage a unique and unrepeatable expression.
In years blessed with warm weather, healthy grapes ripen to perfection, yielding wines of remarkable depth and elegance. As you sip a vintage champagne, you’re savouring the narrative of a specific year — the warmth of a sunny summer, the cool freshness of a crisp autumn, or the concentrated richness of a challenging harvest.
The primary grapes used in champagne — Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay — flourish in the Champagne region’s unique climate. A warm, sunny growing season can result in even ripening and fully mature grapes, enhancing the richness and complexity of the final wine.
The 2008 vintage is widely celebrated as one of the finest in recent decades. A cool, sunny August led to even ripening and high acidity levels, producing champagnes of exceptional balance, brightness, and freshness.
The 2012 vintage stands as a testament to the resilience and skill of champagne producers. Despite a challenging growing season, the small yields produced wines of concentrated flavours and impressive structure. Also notable: Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill.
Despite a tumultuous growing season, a dry, warm August allowed the grapes to ripen to perfection in 2013, yielding a harvest of balance and vibrancy. Dom Pérignon — which produces vintage champagnes only in years deemed exceptional — released a celebrated 2013 expression.
The warm summer of 2015 produced ripe, generous champagnes of great character. Highlights include the Moët Grand Vintage 2015 and the Pol Roger Brut Vintage.
Behind every great champagne is the artistry of blending — combining grape varieties, vineyards, and reserve wines to define the style and flavour profile of the final product. A remarkable example is Veuve Clicquot Extra Brut Extra Old, created from a selection of the finest reserve wines and an elegant expression of the house’s iconic style.
A bottle of vintage champagne is more than a gift — it is a shared experience, a toast to precious moments, and a celebration of the artistry that goes into creating these remarkable wines. Whether for a birthday, anniversary, or to mark a special occasion, a vintage champagne from Drinks House 247 is a gift that will be remembered.
