Champagne Brut La Grande Dame has a brilliant golden-yellow colour with subtle highlights. The bouquet is intense and complex, with notes of ripe fruit (white peach, pear), white flowers (jasmine) and hints of toasted hazelnuts and delicate spices. On the palate, it is elegant and well-structured, with a perfect balance between acidity and freshness; the finish is long, refined and persistent, with an aftertaste of dried fruit and minerals.
Champagne Brut La Grande Dame pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as raw seafood, oysters, white meat, elegantly prepared fish, soft cheeses and more complex dishes such as scampi cream risotto or light game. It is ideal for special occasions and elegant celebrations such as formal events, anniversaries, birthdays and sophisticated parties.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.
