Lot #167. Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Brut 1996

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: France, Champagne.
Score: 95+ ST.
"Deep, highly complex aromas of citrus skin, nutmeg, porcini mushroom, toasted almond and clove. Rich, dry and impressively deep; superconcentrated and oily. A chewy, spicy Champagne that seemed to grow fresher as it opened in the glass. Really explosive on the aftertaste, finishing with a clinging quality and powerful spicy, nutty flavors. A major mouthful of Champagne, at its best at the dinner table. Displays the combination of high ripeness and high acidity of this vintage at its best. This thick, rich, very powerful wine is still a bit youthfully disorganized and will be even better for a few years of additional aging. One of the standouts of my recent tastings." Vinous, Nov 2004
Provenance: The Nantais Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $170
