Description
Cuvée La Grande Dame 2006 is an exclusive brut champagne ideal for accompanying a platter of shellfish or fish. Made from the eight historic Grands Crus of the Maison Veuve Clicquot, it comprises 53% Pinot Noir (Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy, Verzenay) and 47% Chardonnay (Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger).
2006 was marked by alternating rainy and hot spells. Harvesting took place in a very favorable climate, resulting in grapes of excellent ripeness and acidity.
The wine's brilliant gold color reveals a beautiful effervescence of delicate finesse.
The rich, complex first nose reveals sumptuous floral notes (acacia, peony), followed by aromas of fresh fruit (vine peach, pear), before giving way to luscious toasty fragrances (hazelnut, toasted almond). The delicious second nose is enriched by candied notes (nougat, ginger, candied lemon).
The palate is slightly saline, with a fine minerality. The long, generous finish shows good ageing potential (around 10 years).
