CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2018 La Grande Dame is just as impressive as it was last year. The focus on northern and northeastern sites in Verzy and Verzenay yields a Grande Dame that impresses with notable tension and cut. Lemon peel, white flowers, chalk, mint and slate race across the palate. There's gorgeous mineral-drenched drive here. Impeccable.

Full bottle 1,895 g. 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay. Remarkably fine mousse. Explosive - fireworks texture. Smoky Pinot perfume and rather rich underneath. Not many technical details given. Baked-apple flavours and at the moment just a tiny bit of astringency on the end. Richer than any single-estate champagne I can think of but impressively weighty! (JR)
