Veuve Clicquot Rosé Reserve 1996

Champagne, FranceVeuve's '96 Rosé Reserve is part of a fine '96 trilogy from Veuve that includes La Grande Dame and Vintage Reserve. The best wines of the Cote des Blancs and Montagne de Reims combine with some 15 per cent of red wine from Bouzy to create an attractive spicy rosé. Rich firm and mouth filling, with style and finesse as intense as its red fruits flavour. The Champenois call it a gastronomy wine - in short it's made for food. It's capable of ageing gracefully for 10 to 15 years. Excellent quality.Tasted: 14 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
