Champagne Veuve Clicquot - La Grande Dame 2012

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2022
(around 190 euros per bottle)
Mythical champagne

Aspect

Golden and brilliant.                             

Nose

The aromas of red and black fruits reveal the generosity of the majority of Pinot Noir (90%), selected in 2012 in the terroirs of Aÿ, Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay and Bouzy, subtly spicy and underlined by a spark of citrus fruits thanks to the Chardonnay (10%) from the Côte des Blancs (Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger). 

Palate

Vertiginous presence at the opening, highlighted by the minerality of the chalk of the Grands Crus of Champagne and reinforced by the adjusted dosage with 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

With this cuvée La Grande Dame 2012 proposed by Didier Mariotti, cellar master of Veuve Clicquot, Yayoi Kusama pays tribute to Mrs Clicquot, grande dame of the Champagne.
