1945 Glavier Champagne

[asambrook]

I have a bottle of 1945 Glavier Champagne and can't find any info about it anywhere.

It doesn't say Phillipe Glavier on the label - just:

Glavier
Champagne
Epernay
Vintage 1945

It has been stored for many, many years in my cellar so might be ok to drink as well as collect.

Many thanks to anyone who may have any information on this champagne and it's possible value?

Welcome aboard. I've been to Stoke-on-Trent a few times for meetings, nice place! I think you may also send an email to them to see if this is something they have any information on. Nice find in your cellar. Anything from 1945, a rather significant historical year, is an interesting find.

Thanks for the replies - I have had a look on their website but couldn't find anything.

Next step is to email them then I guess.

I must say it being 1945 is quite nice for me to, if it's not worth anything I might hold on and just leave it in the cellar until 2045 [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

nothing like a 100 year old bottle of bubbly. there was recently a boat wreck where they found the world's oldest champagne bottle something like 150+ years old...
