Grande Marque Classic
"A good friend of mine has remarked that when he orders a glass of Veuve, he has to stop himself from sending it back when he sees the size of the bubbles, half-convinced that they've poured him the house fizz. True enough, Veuve has a rather fulsome mousse, but a quick sniff shows that baked bramley apple character that is to me the hallmark of Veuve Cliquot. The widow Cliquot is a classy lady, elegant and deceptively complex, she has a lovely yeasty character and perfectly balanced acidity which keeps her fresh and lively, with apple, citrus and toast abound."
