What is another term for vintage champagne?

• A. Millesime
• B. Brut
• C. Non-Vintage
• D. Doux

Answer: (A)

Vintage champagne is labeled with a term that comes from French indicating a single harvest year. That term is millésime (often seen as Millésimé on the bottle). It signals the wine was made from grapes of one year and declared as a vintage, rather than a blend from multiple years. Most champagnes are non-vintage, blended across several years to maintain house style. The other terms describe dryness (Brut), sweetness (Doux), or a blend of years (Non-Vintage) but not the year. So the term that identifies vintage champagnes is millésime.
