Why we love this champagne:
Luxurious with notes of brioche, nougat, cinnamon and cherry. The finish is fresh and generous, giving a glimpse of the discreet liqueuring, which does not upset the wine's natural balance.
Veuve Clicquot is among the best!
Winemaker / tasting notes:
Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is among the most prestigious Champagne Houses. La Grande Dame 2004 Rose is an exclusive blend of our 8 traditional grand crus: A’è, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy, Verzenay for the Pinot Noir (52%) and Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay (33%).
La Grande Dame Rose 2004 also contains red wine (15%) made entirely of Pinot Noir from Bouzy. Most of the grapes come from Clos Colin, one of our best vineyards, situated right in the centre of this Grand Cru.
On the palate, the wine is substantial and full-bodied. The texture is crisp and silky. The minerality of the chalk resonates brilliantly with its meaty structure and amplifies the length of the finish.
