Champagne Veuve Clicquot Brut La Grande Dame MAGNUM

For the House of Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame 1990 is the champagne of the millennium, launched in 1999 to inaugurate the 2000s. To commemorate this special release, the winery bottled limited magnums, and double magnums. La Grande Dame 1990’s signature blend draws traditionally on the eight Grands Crus, which are among the most prestigious in Champagne. It is dominated by Pinot Noir, with nearly 61%. These grapes come from Aÿ, in the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay, and Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. The Chardonnay portion of 39% was harvested from the vines in the Grands Crus of Avize, Oger, and Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs. On the nose, La Grande Dame 1990 in magnum offers highly expressive opening notes of candied fruit - apricot, mango, fig, quince, and dates. These are then joined by warm, gourmet patisserie notes - marzipan, tarte tatin, almonds, and pralines. More complex spicy notes such as golden tobacco, dried leaves, and morel mushrooms round off the richness of this wine. In the mouth, the opening is like a sunburst, fresh and energetic and the texture is both rich and silky. The prolonged aging of this vintage gives the wine depth and power. A true treasure!
