Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin La Grande Dame Brut Rose JEROBOAM

The 1990 Veuve La Grande Dame Brut Rose displays a pale vermillion core is revealed with brilliant copper-orange hues and after 2-3 minutes in the glass, extraordinarily pure and seductive aromas of dried raspberries, strawberry coulis, Rainier cherry, damp forest floor, redcurrant, rose petal, grapefruit zest, licorice, dried burnt orange peel, chalk, crushed shells, and the beginnings of smoke-tinged tertiaries come wafting out. And yet, the palate is even more enticing, full of lithe mineral accents that are lifted by gorgeously rich, red-fruited textures intertwined with a distinct smoky savoriness. It’s mouth-filling, profound, elegant, delicate, intelligent, supremely complex; absolutely stunning. This will drink like Grand Cru Burgundy as it sheds carbonation throughout the evening.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
