expert's opinions

(12.2005) Tightly-packed with notes of citrus oil, orange rind, white peach, honeysuckle, and brioche, the medium to full-bodied 1996 La Grande Dame Brut should age well. Crisp, fresh, and backward, it is another brilliant example from the exquisite 1996 vintage.

(11.2006) A touch cheesy in aroma, this settles into apple, peach and hazelnut flavours. On the sharp side, with a grainy texture that emerges on the finish. A powerful, dry Champagne, with a biscuit-like aftertaste. Needs food.

Selected from the eight grand cru villages in which Madame owned vineyards, this lean, youthful wine is delicious now but could use additional bottle age to broaden out. Toasty and citrusy, there's a lot of fruit here, yet it retains a great sense of elegance.

here's not a lot of mistaking the Veuve Clicquot style here! Full-bodied, weighty, toasty, all cut with a plentiful supply of acidity. Definitely more about heft than elegance. Nutty, orange zest. Not a shrinking violet!
