Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012 is a brut white blend Champagne with 90% pinot noir and 10% chardonnay. All of the grapes are harvested from grand crus vineyards.
Nose: Initial notes of white flowers on the nose, such as jasmine, honeysuckle and vine flowers can be felt and then opens with fruitier nuances of apple, pear and peach. A few notes of fresh almond and frangipane complete the bouquet.
Palate: In the mouth, the cuvée reveals more complex aromas: dried apricot, hazelnuts, honey and sugar candy. Silky textures give the wine its personality, elegance and character.
