VEUVE CLICQUOT Vintage Reserve 1996 75cl Bottle

The winter of 1996 is very cold, temperatures reach -15°C without however damaging the vines. The spring is dry and sunny, budding starts between 20th and 24th April depending on the grape varieties. May is dull and cool and some spring frosts damage the Champagne vineyards. The Veuve Clicquot vineyards are spared: thanks to their location on the slopes, they are not too sensitive to this type of frosts.July is very dry and the second fortnight almost leads to a drought situation for the vineyards. Some salutary rains in late August bring back optimum conditions for the growth of the vine. The harvest starts on September 16th for the early villages. Harvest conditions are excellent: dry and hot weather. Never in living memory has such a great balance been reached in Champagne between maturity (10° GL) and acidity (10 g/L in H2SO4). The very dry weather conditions have naturally concentrated the components of the grape. The first tastings are very promising and are the signs of long-keeping wines.The
