($100, Moet Hennessy USA): This has to be the Champagne deal of decade.  Veuve Clicquot, like many Champagne houses, opted to re-release older vintages into the market so customers can discover the glorious taste of mature Champagne.  Aged on the lees–the dead yeast–for almost a decade and then aged for an equal time in the bottle, this wine delivers a complex array of nutty, toasty and yeasty flavors balanced beautifully by an uplifting freshness–acidity imparted by the bubbles.  Treat yourself and in the process discover the delight of mature Champagne. 95 Michael Apstein Feb 6, 2007
