Recognizing the principle that the best years yield vintages that are unique winesmasterpieces that travel through timeVeuve Clicquot Ponsardin has delved into its cellars and come up with treasures dating back to 1985 and 1988.

Made using 17 Grands and Premiers Crus, Rare Vintage Ros 1985 is dominated by the strength and fullness of the black grapes. It has a lively amber pink robe with copper tints and fine, lingering bubbles. The nose is complex, with full flavors of ripe red fruit, sweet spices, leather and undergrowth. In the mouth, Rare Vintage Ros 1985 has plenty of lasting structure with a remarkable aromatic finish. This exquisite wine produces unique sensations and leaves an unforgettable impression.

"A fine example of a mature Rose Champagne. From a stellar vintage, this has mellowed to a burnished copper hue, featuring warm autumn aromas and flavors of perserved berries, wood smoke and roasted walnuts. It's all backed by a firm structure and a dry profile."
