Description
The Champagne Brut La Grande Dame 1990 is the first vintage among Veuve Clicquot Champagnes. La Grande Dame is dedicated to Madame Cliquot and her love for Pinot Noir. It was launched in 1999 to celebrate the dawn of the new millennium.
It is produced from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, sourced from 8 Grand Cru vineyards located in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne-Ardenne region.
La Grand Dame is distinguished by a luminous appearance, a shimmering golden hue with intense amber highlights and a fine, delicate mousse. On the nose it opens with an elegant bouquet of candied fruits such as apricot, fig, mango and date, along with pastry notes reminiscent of marzipan and tarte Tatin. Added to this are aromas of tobacco, dried leaves and mushrooms. On the palate it is fresh, energetic, with a rich, silky texture.
Perfect to accompany appetizers and aperitifs, it is ideal paired with fish dishes, shellfish, dry biscuits and pastries.
