On the palate, La Grande Dame 2012 boasts a harmonious blend of finesse and power. It begins with a silky texture and well-balanced acidity, which gives way to a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel. The initial taste reveals delicate flavors of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, followed by citrus notes like lemon and grapefruit. As the champagne evolves, you may detect subtle hints of toasted brioche and almond, a testament to its well-integrated oak aging. The finish is long and persistent, marked by a pleasant minerality that reflects the terroir of the region.
The aroma of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012 is as captivating as its taste. As you bring the glass to your nose, you are greeted with a bouquet of fresh fruit and floral notes, such as white peach, pear, and delicate hints of jasmine and honeysuckle. The complexity deepens as you detect underlying layers of toasted brioche, hazelnut, and vanilla, which stem from the oak aging process. A subtle touch of minerality and the faintest whisper of smokiness complete the intricate and alluring aroma profile of this exceptional champagne.
