Veuve Clicquot - La Grande Dame 2015 - Brut Rose
Description
Overview: Veuve Clicquot presents La Grande Dame Rosé 2015, a tribute to the pioneering spirit of Madame Clicquot. In 1818 he challenged conventional practices by blending the red wine from his beloved plot "Clos Colin" with his white wine. Criticized at first, today she is recognized as the inventor of the first known blended rosé champagne.
La Grande Dame Rosé 2015, with a blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, is blended with 13% Pinot Noir red wine from the historic 'Clos Colin' plot.
The unique and precise quality of Pinot Noir is the backbone of Veuve Clicquot champagnes. As Madame Clicquot said: "Our black grapes make the best white wines." The versatility and freshness of Pinot Noir capture the essence of the Champagne region's unique terroir.
Tasting Notes: Veuve Clicquot's latest cuvée harmoniously blends the sun-filled 2015 vintage with the precision, depth, and character of Pinot Noir red wine. Spice notes, such as pepper, nutmeg, and clove, intertwine with the delicate aromas of red fruit, as well as floral hints of rose and violet.
Pairing: Poached goose foie gras
