Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Brut 2012 75cl

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Brut 2012

First launched in 1972 for bicentennial, the rare and remarkable La Grande Dame champagne is a tribute to Madame Clicquot. And it has never been more audacious than the 2012 vintage.

• La Grande Dame 2012 has a surprising glint of light gold colour
• Initially it reveals a strong attack, both aerial and delicate. The release presents notes of dried fruits (almonds, figs, apricots) and ripe white fruits (pears). Finally, subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline
• The luscious pastry notes are well balanced with the blend’s freshness and clarity. The attack is strong and sharp. La Grande Dame 2012 bestows a silky texture upon young fruits, carried by citrus and red fruit (cherry) notes
