An established, private cellar from Toronto. Filled with Old World icons and New World classics, the wines were largely sourced from the LCBO, trusted importers, and direct from wineries. All the bottles were stored in a home cellar under temperature control.
Producer notes - Created in almost perfect conditions from a blend of quality grapes, this rosé champagne of great aromatic complexity takes its place in Veuve Clicquot's renowned "Cavencies Privées" collection, a selection of vintages preserved in the heart of the House's chalk cellars in Reims. Fruit of an extraordinary year in Champagne, characterized by an alternation of cool and hot temperatures and dry and humid periods, the 1996 harvest gave grapes with unparalleled acidity. Result? An intense wine, of great aromatic complexity.
