Description

Year – 2008
Origin – France
The initial nose reveals a strong, aerial and delicate attack. Once opened, the wine has notes of dried fruits (almonds, figs, apricots), ripe white fruits (pears) and finishes on subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline. These pastry notes create a perfect balance with the freshness and clarity of the blend.
The attack in the mouth is strong and clean. La Grande Dame 2008 has a silky texture on young fruits, supported by citrus and notes of red fruits (cherry).
The Pinot Noir is extraordinarily distinguished by its freshness, minerality and power. La Grande Dame 2008 is a perfect balance of complexity, structure and power.

AROMA
Subtle floral aromas can be enhanced or mellowed depending on the ingredients added.
TASTE
Meunier brings delicious fresh notes, while the pinot noir adds intense red fruit flavours. A creamy finish follows.
