La Grande Dame Rose 1988


Yummy yummy yummy........

ok before i babble on....I must congratulate J n C on their 22 anniversay and a big thank you to J for his generosity, always on wine and dinner.


Become of J, i have an oppurtunity to taste one of the best rose around La Grande Dame Rose 1988.This champagne is to represent the wonderful celebration of his wedding, on that year


I must say i wasn't much of a Rose fan , last time, but in recent years i have gain quite an interest in this style of champange.


Veuve Clicquot flagship selection La Grande Dame , in particuliar this bottle La Grande Dame 1988 (LGDR 88 )- was drinkign very well. In fact, J, D and me think that it still can be kept a few years more!


LGDR 88 is made out of 64% pinot nior, 36 % chardonnay, and 15% red pinot nior; all from the Grand Cru.


LGDR 88 has a luminous deep golden colour . Fine , uniform bubbles.

Nose- intense , rich nose of dried fruits ( dates and figs) and mild spice ( vanilla).

Palate- long, dense,creamy,and tight woven ; perfectly rounded of with tint of black cherries and raspberries.


Compliment most food and also best drink on it's own


Superb superb!
