The cuvée is based on 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, with 13% red wine from Clos Colin, Veuve Clicquot’s historic Pinot Noir parcel in Bouzy, incorporated into the blend. The 2018 vintage combines the depth and structure of Pinot Noir with the freshness and finesse provided by Chardonnay. Clos Colin contributes additional colour, texture and concentrated red-fruit character while preserving the elegance associated with La Grande Dame. The resulting Champagne is generous yet precise, with floral, berry and spice notes carried by a distinctly energetic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with violet and rose alongside blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry and cherry, followed by accents of Sichuan pepper and liquorice. On the palate, mandarin, blood orange and grapefruit zest introduce freshness before layers of cherry, strawberry and raspberry coulis emerge. Pepper, cinnamon and liquorice add gentle spice, while mint and thyme provide an aromatic lift. A dosage of 6 g\/L places the wine firmly within the Brut category while preserving its fruit definition and structural tension. Built with significant ageing potential, La Grande Dame Rosé 2018 balances richness and vinous depth with freshness, finesse and a persistent, structured finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Floral, vivid and expressive\u003cbr\u003eViolet, rose, blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry and cherry with nuances of Sichuan pepper and liquorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Generous, fresh and finely structured\u003cbr\u003eMandarin, blood orange and grapefruit zest layered with cherry, strawberry and raspberry coulis, complemented by pepper, cinnamon, liquorice, mint and thyme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Persistent, precise and vinous\u003cbr\u003eRed fruit, citrus zest, gentle spice and fine structural grip linger through a fresh and elegant conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Veuve Clicquot\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Rosé Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2018\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eTier - Prestige Cuvée\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12.50%\u003cbr\u003eDosage - Brut\u003cbr\u003eDisgorgement date - September 2025\u003cbr\u003eGrape Blend \/ Cépage - 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veuve Clicquot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44335025848407,"sku":"VC-LGD-18-ROSE","price":469.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/61890bb1-d7e9-4472-b7d9-4164eb944aaa.webp?v=1790229277","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/veuve-clicquot-la-grande-dame-rose-2018","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
