Tasting Notes: Finessed and smooth-textured Champagne that evoke flavors of apricot, peach, vanilla pastry and mineral. The primary aromas of this champagne are bread and apple perhaps even baked apple, though not quite apple pie. It is racy with snappy acidity that provides energy and drives the flavors to a long conclusion. Defining the classic taste of Champagne, Veuve is rich, robust, round, refreshing champagne with yeasty and baked flavors of lemon, apple and a bit of pear.
