Product details

1990 was a year of abundance. Despite two waves of April frost, 1990 was the sunniest of the 30 years precending, counting 2.100 hours of sunshine. Its color is a very deep gold, a not to the year’s plentiful sunshine. Effervescence if fine an enduring the nos is impressive in it great intensity and richness. Fruity aromas dominate on two levels: with almost candied fruit and citrus notes, while exposure reveals vanilla notes of rare elegance with nuances of minimality. Some lightly toasted aromas complete the overall effect.

Tasting notes

On the palate, the very clean opener quickly cedes place to structure and concentration. This venosity is perfectly set off by superb dynamism. Aromas of liqueur and candied citrus fruit give Cave Privée 1990 its lively freshness. The finish is ample and long.

GRANDE DAME OF CHAMPAGNE

Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin was born in 1777, the daughter of a textile manufacturer in Reims, Champagne. Widowed at the age of only 27, she took control of her own destiny and became one of the first modern entrepreneurs. In an era when women were excluded from the business world, she dared to assume the head of the company founded by her father-in-law in 1772, a role she undertook with passion and determination. Her creativity and lust for innovation led to many firsts in Champagne: the first known vintage champagne; the invention of the riddling table; the first known blended rosé champagne. Three inventions that revolutionised champagne making and were widely adopted by producers, becoming the basis of modern champagne production. Madame Clicquot made her name into a brand of excellence and had it shine the world over. Her formidable contributions earned her the nickname of "La Grande Dame of Champagne".
