Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame Rosé--Vintage 1990
In original wooden presentation case with no lid
Vintage note: An exceptional year, the third largest crop on record, nearly 330 million kilos of grapes producing the equivalent of 288 million bottles (1982 was 295 million, 1983 was 302 million bottles.) This despite severe April frosts affecting 45 of the entire region, to some degree. Unsuitable weather during flowering, causing coulure and millerandage, extended the period from late May to early July. However, by mid-July it was apparent that not only were there large numbers of bunches but the grapes were big. Happily, the summer was hot and dry, causing a not infrequent phenomenon, a second flowering, making up 60 of the crop which was picked long after the first, early, harvest of Chardonnay (on 11 September and from the 24th for the Pinot Noir). ***** Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
