A remarkable quality vintage. La Grande Dame 2012 is direct, refined and balanced. Fresh aromas such as acacia, citrus zest, flint and redcurrant mark this wine that is definitively of its terroir. La Grande Dame to discover.

"La Grande Dame 2012 is a wine that is both precise and delicate. It is playful, lively, laughing. This new vintage offers a strong minerality carried by Pinot Noir balanced with the freshness of the blend. Its aging potential is immense, it is a wine whose tasting makes me vibrate"  - Didier Mariotti, Veuve Clicquot Cellar Master

TASTING NOTES

Initial notes of white ?owers on the nose, such as jasmine, honeysuckle and vine ?owers can be felt and then opens with fruitier nuances of apple, pear and peach. A few notes of fresh sliced almond and frangipane complete the bouquet. 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. The aging has imparted particular depth and power to the wine.
