2015 Veuve Clicquot 'La Grande Dame' Champagne with Gift Box
Winemaker Notes: La Grande Dame pays tribute to Madame Clicquot. She used to say "Our black grapes give the finest white wines." The Glory of Pinot Noir. La Grande Dame 2015 respects Madame Clicquot's vision of Pinot Noir, which is about 90% since 2008, using historical Grand Crus.
Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2015 offers floral notes (acacia, jasmine) alongside white fruits (Granny Smith apple, pear), citrus notes (grapefruit, clementine, lemon zest), and white pepper, ginger, chalk, and stones.
Blend: 90% Pinot Noir; 10% Chardonnay
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Spectator - "This graceful Champagne offers hints of smoke and toasted brioche that transition to patisserie apple and blackberry fruit, candied ginger and mandarin orange peel notes. Seamlessly knit and mouthwatering, with a minerally underpinning and a finely detailed, dotted bead. Lush and creamy on the vibrant, lasting finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2035."
