Veuve Clicquot Le Grand Dame Rose 2015
Veuve Clicquot Le Grand Dame Rose 2015 98 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2025).96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 vintage of Veuve Clicquot’s 'La Grande Dame' Rosé is composed from a cépages of ninety percent pinot noir and ten percent chardonnay, with thirteen percent of the pinot noir being still red wine in this vintage. It was disgorged in March of 2023, after eight years aging sur latte and finished with a dosage of eight grams per liter. The wine is a beautifully deep salmon color and delivers an utterly refined aromatic constellation of strawberries, blood orange, a touch of sumac, chalky soil tones, rye bread, rose petals and a delicate topnote of smokiness. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and shows off stunning depth at the core, with fine mineral undertow and grip, a lovely girdle of acidity, utterly refined mousse and a long, complex and impeccably balanced finish. This is a brilliant bottle of Rosé! 2024-2065. (Mar/Apr 2024)"
