Description
"The long sunny days and warmth of the 2018 vintage has provided glowing stone and citrus fruit to this glorious Grande Dame. While the initial attack plays on various riffs of lemon oil, verbena, orange rind and grapefruit, it's the deeply mineral and tightly wound core that surprises most with this wine, and this is what will ensure its long-term ageing potential. Delectable candied orange rind builds to a crescendo of yuzu and coconut cream. A luminous and energetic iteration of La Grande Dame." - 97 points, Natalie Earl for Decanter
"La Grande Dame 2018 enhances the Pinot Noir, which accounts for 90% of the blend, in keeping with Madame Clicquot’s vision: ‘Our black grapes give the finest white wines’. Deep and precise, the 2018 vintage is one of the finest harvests in recent years." - Veuve Clicquot
