This collection, featuring a plethora of Champagne, comes from the cellar of a consignor in Toronto. All bottles have been stored in temperature and humidity - controlled conditions.
The rating for 2008 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Champagne is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Exhibiting aromas of pear, toasted brad, confit citrus and smoke, the 2008 Brut La Grande Dame is full-bodied, rich and textural, with a deep and layered core, ripe but racy acids and a saline finish. A blend dominated by fully 92% Pinot Noir, this is true to the cuvée's rich and muscular style, but the vintage lends it welcome additional cut and precision. It's showing a lot better than the bottles I tasted in the United States last year. The rating for 2008 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Brut Rose is 92+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2008 Brut Vintage Rosé is showing well, exhibiting an inviting bouquet of berries, honeycomb, toasted brioche and plum preserve. Medium to full-bodied, it's chalkier and more incisive than its white counterpart, with a lively spine of acidity and a saline finish. Again, the vintage signature is just as prominent as the house style.
