Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame Size:3x1.5L Silky tannins give way toFine burnished gold, apt for a 30 year old Champagne alive and kicking. What impresses is the fresh Chardonnay, which balances the opulence of 1990 mature Pinot opulence. A lovely interplay of those peach & quince flavours with enlivening citrus repertoire, especially citron confit; still long & vigorous. Model post disgorgement ageing since 2003. A wine for venison and even foie gras.
