Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame L'art Du Pinot Noir 2018 750 ml

La Grande Dame is Veuve Clicquot's prestige cuvee, and this 2018 release leans into what the house calls the art of Pinot Noir, the grape that has defined its blends since Madame Clicquot ran the business herself. The fruit comes from the house's Grand Cru vineyards, and the wine spends years on its lees before disgorgement, which is where the pastry and nut character develops. Expect white peach, brioche and toasted hazelnut on the nose, a palate of citrus, red apple and chalky minerality carried by a fine bead, and a long, dry finish. Serve it cool in a white wine glass, with shellfish or roast poultry.
