I imagined the guy on the right falling out of the chair and died laughing.

My coworker would like to know if it is pronounced veuve clicqout with an (koh) sound at the end or with a (wah) sound at the end.

Worst champagne ever... Very bitter, brioche tasting. And the effervescence was lacking... It went flat fast.. even with a cork, Which is why in the video they say its best to drink fast; otherwise, in 2 hours it will be flat... Try Moet, or G.H.Mumm, both good... though the latter has more bubbles, it is more bitter... makes a good Mimosa.. half OJ half champagne

I love Clicquot!

Ups dropped off 3 bottles of Veuve Clicquot Yellowboam Galuchat.

They are 3-liter bottles so much fun will be had!

as a general rule of thumb; Vintage Champagne shouldn't be drunk if it was made before 1971, if you want to drink the wine at it's best. Saying that, at Christmas I opened a bottle of 1959 Taittenger and it was great. The wine had developed into something more like a medium/dry Sherry with a golden honey colour. The bubble content was still there, although not a vigerous as today's Champagnes. For the record, I also own a 1915, 1928, 1945 & 1959 Champagne among other wines!

@VoyeurFantastic

Wow that is some nice stuff!

[SKRILLLER]

i chugged an entire bottle of la grand dame, lol. i cashed in 200 dollars worth of spare change and figured i'd do something crazy with the money!! lol

I disagree with Brian Freedman completely here. Veuve Clicquot never screams for anything. It whispers for a Triscuit cracker topped by a thin sliver of brie, you fucking idiot.

Good Lord...can you be any more of a snob? SMH...youtube snobbery. And I thought I saw it all...

[vincemichaels]

Had a bottle of 1982 Veuve Cliquot that we had saved for a very special family get together....we were worried that time had somehow affected it....wow, what a wonderful champagne...a fan for life..

[criskity]

The bready flavor comes from the yeast, which ferments in the bottle.

Thanks, we always like to find out what people like.

That was informative. I understand that the vintage wines get better with time. What's the length of time when they decline in quality?

[slimes23]

@Greeneyez2475 Depends on the wine and storage temperature. Wines like Dom Perignon from a good vinatge like 1996 with plenty of acidity and stored at a fairly low temperature can go for decades. Wines that have spent a long time on the lees, from lesser vinatges, stored closer to room temperature will age faster. So Bollinger RD 1997 will be great in 3-5 years time while Dom Perignon 2002 will probably be to young in 8-10 years time.

I enjoyed this informative video.

[EDUinsight]

Didn't know champagne could last even longer than traditional wines. Now, where can I buy some?

[Oualtaire]

Come to Reims baby! ;-D
