Tasting note
To taste La Grande Dame 2018 is to experience ideal balance, with perfect harmony and intensity. Like the sun that blessed that exceptional harvest, its color is bright and luminous. Its deep and precise style is characterized by subtle finesse and freshness, expressed through its salinity. Intense aromas emerge through a delicate scent of citrus - lemon, lime, yuzu - blended with white fruit, enhanced by spring and floral notes.
