Marks and reviews

Wine Spectator

Alison Napjus

Rich flavors and aromas of bread pudding and molasses mix with hints of baked peach, biscuit, ground ginger, fleur de sel and candied orange zest in this elegant bubbly, which shows lovely balance, a subtle bead and a delicate yet persistent freshness. Disgorged October 2008. Drink now through 2020.

Decanter

Veuve Cliqcuot’s Cave Privée programme of setting aside respectable allocations of every vintage release is courageous, not least because vintages that don’t age well will never surface. 1990 shows breathtaking endurance – a mesmerising golden sunset of vivid brushstrokes of mature complexity.

Wine Enthusiast

Roger Voss

This toasty, superbly mature wine is part of a series of releases featuring the house's cellar-matured Champagnes. This emerges from the glass with complex flavors of almond, brioche, citrus and a hint of steeliness. The majestic richness of the wine has fully justified its decades of aging.

La RVF

Wonderful notes of spice, tobacco and dead leaves, carried on a supple palate that fully expresses the vintage. Gentle kirsch-like aromas and a long finish will pair beautifully with a flavoursome white meat dish. Soothing.

Le Figaro Vin

The 1990 is now a Champagne at its peak: it is full-bodied, with a lovely, suave mid-palate; subtle hints of development are emerging, with lovely morel notes, and a beautifully expansive finish.

Description

A sophisticated vintage Brut Champagne by Veuve Clicquot

The producer

Today, Veuve Clicquot has become a brand with a worldwide success. The Veuve Clicquot myth was created thanks to a woman: Madame Clicquot. It was in 1798 that François Clicquot married the daughter of Baron Nicolas Ponsardin. Son of the founder of the Clicquot Champagne House, he passed on all of his passion to his wife, initiating her into the secrets of champagne-making. When her husband passes away prematurely, at the age of 27, she took over the running of the Veuve Clicquot Champagne House with determination. Guided by an innate sense of innovation and a perpetual quest for perfection, she invented the riddling table and marketed the first blended rosé champagne. Veuve Clicquot has turned this uncompromising requirement into her motto: "Only one quality, the finest".

The vineyard

Comprising 390 hectares of land, Veuve Clicquot has one of the largest vineyards in Champagne. This vineyard is also exceptional in its quality, as it is spread over 12 out of the 17 Grands Crus and 20 of the 44 Premiers Crus of the Champagne region.

The wine

Cave Privée Rosé 1990 is made from a selection of wines from the Grands Crus and Premiers Crus of the Montagne de Reims, the Grande Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.

The blend

Cave Privée Rosé 1990 by Veuve Clicquot comprises a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
