Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 1995 Champagne
Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rose 1995 ChampagneThis silky mellow rosémust be amongst the greatest rosé champagnes ever made.Its mousse is fine and long-lasting and its quality and distinction of this vintage are expressed in the intense, elegant nose. Notes of raspberry and strawberry combine with toasted aromas to complement each other to perfection, bestowing an unforgettable bouquet to this wine. The palate then confirms the complexity of the nose, leading to an exceedingly harmonious finish. Champagne Grape Blend:38% Chardonnay, 62% Pinot NoirFeatures:La Grande Dame makes her entrance in an 18th-Century bottle, both elegant and voluptuous. In contrast she is presented in spectacular modern gift box adding an original touch to the packaging of this prestige cuvee.Vintage Year:"1995 began like the 3 previous years with a mild, wet winter. Budbreak took place between 6 and 17 April, one week ahead of time, given the average date of budbreak over the last few years. Some vineyards in the Marne and Aube were affected by frost at the end of April and mid-May but fortunately the House’s vines were not damaged.After a short cool period, hot, nearly summery weather conditions occurred and the end of flowering was excellent. July was particularly hot and stormy and the threat of mildew had never been as strong since 1958. Constant attention and excellent integrated control meant the future harvest could be saved. As the harvest approached the grapes matured rapidly, and a late attack of botrytis had no lasting effects. Harvesting for the Chardonnay began on 21 September, with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier following one week later. Staggering the dates of the harvest and selective picking meant good-quality grapes were brought in, thus maximising the potential quality of the vintage. The balance of musts was excellent. The 1995 vintage is similar to that of 1988, with an average strength of 9.5°GL and acidity levels of 9 g/l. The wine promises great ageing potential" - Veuve Clicquot |
