Tasting Notes
Vinous 92
A huge, explosive wine from one of the great all-time Champagne vintages, Veuve Clicquot’s 1979 Brut Rose is broad, rich and ample on the palate. This is a decidedly virile Champagne that emphasizes power over finesse. I imagine well-stored bottles will drink well for another decade or more.
Anticipated maturity: 2015-2024
Richard Juhlin 94
If the wine’s fruit is sufficient, the ’79 will last long. Toasty and nutty, with barrel-like aromas and full Pinot flavor. Lovely mint chocolate flavor nowadays.
