La Grande Dame 2012
a tribute champagne
La Grande Dame est un hommage à Madame Clicquot et aux âmes créatives et élégantes qui ont suivi ses traces.
Veuve Cliquot - La Grande Dame
A wine in the image of La Grande Dame herself. Madame Clicquot used her determination, intuition, and vision to select and acquire vineyards with exceptional historic Crus and unique grape varieties.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, initial notes of white flowers such as jasmine, honeysuckle, and vine blossoms emerge before opening up to fruitier nuances of apple, pear, and peach. A few notes of fresh almond and frangipani complete the bouquet.
On the palate, the cuvée reveals more complex aromas of dried apricot, hazelnut, honey, and candied sugar. The silky textures give the wine its personality, elegance, and character. Maturation has allowed the wine to acquire depth and power.
