Five years ago at the bottom of the Baltic Sea have found 168 bottles of the famous champagne “Veuve Clicquot”. They were lost in a shipwreck and held on the seabed about 170 years. In 2015, about surviving bottles remembered and decided to do the analysis. His results amazed everyone!
As a result of the analysis it became clear that the champagne wine in bottles found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea and raised there, was exactly 175 years. That is, the wine transported very young. Now the analysis now vintage wines held by a group of French and German scientists.
Very little is known about the ship, on board a bottle were found. No information or about how and where he was going. Ship sank near Finland. It is believed that many of alcohol transported for sale in Germany.
The very first champagne tasted divers that discovery raised upward from the bottom of the sea. They tried to understand how wine is old, and opened one of the bottles. Besides, they do not have a single mark, no labels. After the first sips of them thought that guilt about 100 years. Divers found the bottle transferred all researchers who subsequently forgot about them safely, by as much as 5 years.
Once all have been carried out the necessary tests, it became clear that the champagne is on the bottom of the sea with the XIX century. The chemical composition is almost identical to the modern champagne. Made wine was found between 1840 and 1841 years. And the analysis clearly showed congestion related to Veuve Clicquot, Heidsieck, and tkkzhe, Juglar.
The chemical analysis, as well as conducted tasting, made it clear that the champagne from the seabed is semi-dry, as well as (in some bottles ) dry wine.
But the most surprising was that the champagne perfectly preserved. In the bottle was almost no traces of germs. This suggests that the company Madame Clicquot was flawless occupational health, which easily can be compared to the modern practice of the manufacture of sparkling wines.
