1990 Champagne Veuve Clicquot, Vintage Reserve, Brut

Description

Great richness and finesse, with still potential for further bottle ageing thanks to the super intensity of fruit and firm acidity in this wine.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 92/100
This remains quite fresh with its cool nose of apple, citrus and exuberant yeast elements that continue onto the crisp, intense and energetic flavours that terminate in a saline-inflected, wonderfully complex and beautifully well-balanced finale. In contrast to some '90s today, this is still in terrific shape and should continue to hold, if not improve, for years to come. In a word, lovely.Drink nowallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (October 2015)

Stephen Tanzer 92/100
Complex, fresh aromas of apple, vanilla, toast and brioche. Very intense, fresh flavours of spiced apple, lemon and clove; tight and taut, with solid acidity and uncanny clarity of flavour. Quite long and young on the aftertaste. Serious juice with good ageing potential.Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com.com (November 1998)

A forward cuvee that will last for another decade. Its richness is exquisite. This will be a relatively long-lived, intense Champagne. One caveat. More than any wine in the world, Champagne is exceptionally vulnerable to heat. Pierre Rovani has already tasted a cooked bottle of this wine. Readers need to be particularly careful when buying Champagne.Drink nowRobert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate (October 1998)

About this wine

Champagne

Champagne

In 1668, Dom Pérignon is said to have discovered how to make sparkling wine; today his technique is used the world over, although Champagne continues to make some of the finest. France’s most northerly wine region, Champagne is now home to 15,000 growers and 290 ‘houses’. A blend of grape varieties is usually required: white Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance, and two reds – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – to provide body and backbone.
