Extracted from a thread just posted: A special friend's birthday dinner: 2012 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rose, 1996 Colin-Deleger En Remilly, 1996 Sauzet les Perrieres, 2004 Giroud Corton-Charlemagne, 1988, 1989, 1995 and 2000 Mouton and 1986, 1990 and 1995 d'Yquem
2012 VEUVE CLICQUOT LA GRANDE DAME BRUT ROSE- the makeup of this rose is quite unusual in that 13% is comprised of red wine sourced from Bouzy; additionally, there is a total of 92% Pinot Noir from Äy, Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay and Bouzy, 8% Chardonnay from Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; it was dosed at 8 gpl and disgorged 10/ 2019; it had a amber copper red color and aromatics that included fresh strawberry and red cherry that continued on once tasted and was enhanced by a nice streak of spice; it was fruit forward, had a soft, almost cotton candy like mousse and was a delightful treat to start out the evening.
Cheers,
