Veuve Clicquot Cave Privee Vintage 1983 Brut 750ml

Grapes from around twenty Premier and Grand Cru villages were meticulously selected to create the blend of this vintage. Our House style can be seen in the use of 58% Pinot Noir, balanced with 35% Chardonnay and 7% Meunier. 

Radiant, tense and refreshing:  

Nose: Elegant and airy. White fruit, grape, pear, apricot jam, caramel, praline and frangipane 

Palate: Lively attack, rich and generous. Yellow fruit and bakery flavors, mirabelle crumble, brioche, butter 

Harvest was splendid and abundant, with an average yield of 15,200 kilos per hectare. The 1983 harvest was one of the most generous in the history of Champagne, perhaps it was even a miracle?
