2006 Veuve Clicquot 'La Grande Dame' Rose Champagne

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - “Delicate flavors of white raspberry, toast, candied ginger and smoky minerality are seamlessly knit in this vibrant rosé Champagne, slowly expanding on the palate into the lasting finish of fruit, saline and sliced almond. Disgorged September 2014. Drink now through 2030.”

Jancis Robinson - “Deep gold-orange. Almost coppery. Not much on the nose, a touch salty, then light red fruits and even a hint of blossom. Slightly smoky on the palate, super-dry and finely textured, supple and subtle but with good length. Tannins are elegant and present, serious and persistent and are very significant in the overall style of this wine. This has a real savory wine-like quality, even though only 15% of the blend is red wine. 17.5/20 Points”
