Table of vintages


In Champagne, you cannot find any bad or medium quality vintages. The winegrowers simply do not make a vintage out of a medium quality year to keep the image of Champagne at its best.

Vintage Details Ranking
(no star: no vintage, one star: good vintage, two stars: very good vintage, three stars: excellent vintage)
1982 Fineness, a very nice maturity. Very nice year * *
1983 Some nice Cuvées. However 1983 had very heavy wines very quickly oxidized *
1984 No vintage
1985 One of the bests of the last 20 years. Still very young in magnums * * *
1986 Good year, however drink quickly *
1987 just a few or no vintages
1988 The best of the last ten years. Its balance, its fineness, its density make it a champion that matures slowly * * *
1989 Very fruity Champagnes, savoury, pale in colour and maturing very quickly. * *
