Product Notes:
Those who know and love champagne can attest to the harmony and sheer perfection of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame. The 1993 vintage is one of their most impressive vintages, with ratings as high as 95 points by Wine & Spirits Magazine.
Recipients will first remark upon La Grande Dame's beauty in the glass: radiant golden-yellow in color with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. The wine opens with an intensely aromatic bouquet of candied fruit, quince, and sweet almond - flavors that are later confirmed in the mouth. On the palate, the wine is clear-cut and pure with unbelievably fine bubbles. The finish is long and lively, and the ample mid-palate flavors do not abate.
Featuring the best of gourmet treats, this basket comes with Heart Shaped Valentine Chocolate, Godiva Chocolate, Toblerone Chocolate, Biscotti, Cookies, Cheeses, Crackers, and Caviar.

 About Varietal:
1997 Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne & Sparkling Wine " Palmes d’Or"
:The Palmes d'Or Grand Cuvée is a work of love for Feuillatte winemakers, as they have selected the best from the vintage. Only truly exceptional years qualify to produce it. A blend of 50% Chardonnay for elegance and finesse and 50% Pinot Noir for body and power. A pale yellow hue with fine delicate bubbles, its complex aromas are dominated by notes of pastry and caramel lifted by subtle touches of fennel, star anise and lemon peel. This smooth and balanced Champagne is beautifully packaged in a matte gold container and black velvet wrap.
"Mixed aromas of toasted grains, caramel and beer. Sweet and doughy with vanilla, malt and tart citrus. Lengthy finish with a mix of brioche, citrus and baked apple." -Wine News
