1975 Veuve Clicquot Royal Celebration Cuvée opened with an impressive hint of toasted brioche, dried apricot, and honeycomb. On the palate, it revealed remarkable depth — notes of almond, baked apple, and subtle oxidative richness balanced by a touch of acidity that kept it lively. The mousse was gentle and fine yet persistent. Time had softened it beautifully. A truly memorable Champagne, it made for a fitting and unforgettable anniversary celebration.

That looks (and sounds) remarkable!
Can I ask where you got it? (And if it’s just been hanging around at home; where you stored it?)
Wow! Super cool bottle
That color
Wow so surprised by the bubbles!
Wow! In celebration of the marriage of Charles and Diana.
Dang that’s a lot of bubbles for such an old champagne
The amount of champagne in the glasses appears to be more than the bottle can hold if you were to pour it back.
I’m impressed with the bubbles after so much time. The color looks incredible—cheers.
Sounds amazing!
