Veuve Clicquot Cave Privee Brut 1990 1.5L Magnum

 

For climate, it is with 1989 that 1990 shows the most similarities. After a mild wet winter, the buds opened almost one month early. This exposed the vineyard to spring frosts which occurred in two waves and affected nearly 12,000 hectares of vines.

The 1990 Vintage is a blend of 17 different Crus, all classified as Grands and Premiers Crus.

The blend is completed with 33% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and, to a lesser extent, from the Montagne de Reims.
