Generous vintage

# 2004 vintage

**Abundant and balanced, very approachable.**

An abundant harvest of fine quality, yielding harmonious champagnes that are easy to enjoy.

A 2004 vintage champagne comes exclusively from that year's harvest and has aged at least three years on lees. To understand what that changes, see our [glossary](https://champagne-discovery-tours.com/en/glossaire/) and our guides to [choosing and gifting](https://champagne-discovery-tours.com/en/choisir-offrir/).
