Late vintage

# 2013 vintage

**Freshness and tension, long ageing.**

A late, cool harvest yielding wines with marked acidity, prized for their ageing potential.

A 2013 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/).
