I was hoping one of the teeming millions might be able to help elucidate a rare champagne known as Veuve Cliquot Flight. I couldn’t seem to find any info on Veuve’s website, but it is listed on the winelist of a champagne bar here and mentioned in a forum post here . So what is it, whats it like and where can I get some?
A “flight” in terms of wines is (I don’t know the correct terminology) a “tasting menu” where you get several vintages of the same wine or different wines from the same vineyard. Your first link seems to me to refer to this.
The second link clearly refers to something different, but it is also written by someone who sounds like a pretentious posuer who doesn’t know what he is talking about.
I could be wrong.
Lamar nailed it.
A flight is simply a tasting of several wines.
A vertical flight is different vintages of the same wine from the same winery.
A horizontal flight would be wines of the same vintage but different wineries. Usually of the same varietal or style.
The Vueve Flight on the Bubble Lounge’s website is listed as Yellow Label Brut and La Grand Dame.
wow, thats far more interesting than an some rare veuve vintage, thanks all!

I thought this thread was going to be about said Doper’s holidays or simething.
The posuer definitely confused things for me, he said “You haven’t lived until you’ve sat in the VIP room of the Bubble Lounge sipping flutes of vintage Veuve Clicquot Flight (no, no, not that Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label bullshit)”, which is ironic, because the Bubble Lounge’s flight is 50 % yellow label.
pfff.
