Veuve Clicquot Description
La Grande Dame 2018 is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir (90%), complemented by Chardonnay (10%).
La Grande Dame 2018 presents a vivid and radiant golden hue. The nose is expressive, revealing intense aromas of citrus fruits like yellow lemon, lime, and yuzu, intertwined with notes of white fruits and delicate spring floral nuances. On the palate, the wine seduces with its subtle and silky texture, offering a harmonious balance between freshness and depth. The finish is long and persistent, showcasing the wine's refined structure and elegance.

The 2018 La Grande Dame is a very pretty wine that shows the contemporary style that is prevalent here these days. Floral overtones lift a core of citrus fruit, while marzipan, anise, mint, dried pear and spice open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 is a delicate Grand Dame, as most Champagnes are in a vintage in which yields were exceptionally high. I especially admire the finesse here.
