Created in honour of Madame Clicquot, the visionary "Grande Dame of Champagne", La Grande Dame represents the pinnacle of Veuve Clicquot's winemaking. Produced only in outstanding vintages from a selection of the House's finest Grand Cru vineyards, the 1990 Rosé is an exceptionally rare expression of one of Champagne's greatest years. Built around Pinot Noir and enriched by a small proportion of still red wine from the celebrated Clos Colin vineyard in Bouzy, it has spent decades evolving in the House's chalk cellars, developing extraordinary depth, finesse and complexity.

"Salmon-orange with a pale rim. Deep, smoky aromas of strawberry, pear cider, cinnamon, earth and maple syrup. Very rich in the mouth, but also shows excellent verve for a wine with such volume; superripe flavors of strawberry, rose petal, iron and earth. In texture and size, this comes across more like a red wine than a rose Champagne. Spicy finish is long and gripping."  Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com
