Title: Vintage Champagne Post by: Josedinho on September 08, 2009, 07:56:52 PM I'm after a bottle of top Chamapgne for my mum and dads wedding anniversary. They're well into their wine (wine fridges, trips to reims etc) so wanted something pretty special. Any wine experts know what the good vintage years were? Also how long before these are ready to drink?

Its is less likely to have deteriorated over the years.
