Was 1969 a good year in Champagne?
Champagne 1969 scores 90 out of 100. Immense charm marked with fresh acidity. Variable temperatures through the season, but the good wines are very good.
A poor spring delayed flowering and the worst mildew of the decade cut yields to 6,100 kg/ha, then the harvest came in sunny and dry.

Should you buy the 1969?
Whatever you pay, ask the seller when the bottle was last moved and how it has been kept. Storage history changes what a mature bottle is worth far more than a few pounds on the shelf price.
