Veuve Clicquot`s 1995 Rosé Réserve is a distinguished vintage Champagne, notable for its rarity, as the house no longer produces this specific vintage. This cuvée combines 53% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, and 15% red wine from Bouzy`s Pinot Noir, aged for eight years on the lees. The 1995 harvest, marked by a warm summer with some pre-harvest showers, yielded a large crop, the first universally declared vintage since 1990. On the nose, it presents deep cherry, butterscotch candy, and pastry-shop aromas, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate offers cherry and croissant-pastry flavours, balanced by a slight mineral tang, leading to a complex caramel-chalk finish. This vintage exemplifies Veuve Clicquot`s commitment to quality and tradition.
