The scientists decided to try the champagne was found back in 2010 at the bottom of the sea. This year marks 175 years of champagne. The wine is classified as semi-arid and dry wines, and not much different from the existing champagne now.

Scientists from Germany and France have made a thorough study of the collection of wines that divers in 2010, found at the bottom the sea. The findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Unfortunately there is no data on what kind of ship was carrying champagne, just do not know who the owner of the goods, and in some it brought to his country. Divers found the ship off the coast of wine Finland. There are suggestions that champagne could take to Finland or Germany. However, the load does not associate with Russia, as the recipient. In Russia, called the champagne La Russe, although the name of the worldwide known and famous Veuve Clicquot.

 vino1 Divers who first discovered this mysterious cargo tasted champagne, they opened the bottle and taste have determined that it is really old and is most likely that it more than 100 years. All bottles were found by the expert to study and determine what kind of champagne was found.

Experts 5 years held various chemical and taste tests detected champagne. As a result, they concluded that the champagne that 175 years is not very different from our champagne.
Zhinde Philippe (Philippe Jeandet), professor at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France told about champagne: “We thought that the chemical the composition of this wine will be very different from the modern champagne. But it is not – the content is very similar ».

According to the scientists, this wine was made in 1840-1841, respectively. After examining the cork which was clogged champagne scientists came to the conclusion that this wine houses such as Veuve Clicquot ( Veuve Clicquot ) in Ponsardene, Heidsieck and Juglar. Compares the detected wine and modern analogues Veuve Clicquot ,, issued in 1955, 1980 and 2011.

According to the results obtained by chemical analysis and tasting conducted scientists have determined that the champagne is classified as semi-arid and dry wines. Given that the wine is not particularly sweet, then Russia as a buyer of the Party expelled, at that time in Russia, bought sweet wines. But in German principalities just loved it not sweet wines and champagne.

Champagne is made of small berries, juice are stored in wooden casks during fermentation, since there are traces of champagne special carboxylic acids, the data were obtained as a result of detailed chemical analyzes.

Just a very unusual component turned out and the presence of grape syrup, which is added instead of champagne beet sugar. Although it is not particularly surprising, since Madame Clicquot was against sweeteners, and prefer to use a mixture of cane sugar syrup and berry.

But the greatest surprise of scientists is perfectly preserved champagne, because there is almost no microbes that would spoilage of wine. This indicates that there was a perfect occupational health, which is comparable to modern standards.

But just as scientists believe that this occurred due to safety rather unusual place of storage of champagne at the bottom of the sea. Modern winemakers can explore in more detail this original method of storing sparkling wines.

It should be noted that the observed champagne by the addition of grape syrup in it much sweeter modern analogues, it contains as little acetic acid.
Champagne was less fizzy than the present, which is not surprising he was already 170 years old, and gradually released gas through the tube.

Veuve Clicquot is a French company founded by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron in 1772. Initially engaged in banking, trade and wool production of champagne. Only after the death of the son of the founder Franz Clicquot was the main business is the production of wine, after the business passed to his widow.
