Vintage and non-vintage champagne are two types of champagne with significant differences. While non-vintage champagne is a blend of wines from different years, vintage champagne is made from grapes harvested in a specific year. In this article, we'll explore the advantages of vintage champagne over non-vintage champagne and why it may be preferred by champagne lovers.

Renowned vintage champagnes such as Dom Pérignon andKrugare examples of the excellence of this type of champagne. Whether you want to enjoy a vintage champagne straight from the bottle, or let it age for a few years, you're guaranteed an exceptional taste experience.
