Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2008

La Grande Dame Blanc Vintage is a full-bodied blend of eight Grand Crus purchased in the 1800s by Madame Clicquot. The color is a luminous sparkling gold with amber highlights. The initial bouquet is remarkably intense, revealing fruity aromas of peach and bergamot with a mineral base. The bouquet is gourmand and voluptuous with hints of brioche, nougat, apricot, vanilla, frangipane, and jasmine.

On the palate, there is plenty of body and substance. The texture is crisp and silky. The finish is fresh and generous, indicating a light dosage that does not disturb the wine’s natural balance.

A beautiful wine for gifting and special occasions, it is a perfect aperitif and also pairs with seafood and white meats. It also has exceptional ageing potential.
