La Grande Dame de la Champagne

Yes, my dearest friends from Catalonia, there are some great "cavas" in this region (obviously, not the ones which make publicity with Sharon Stone), but they're still far away from the ONE and ONLY. Have you guys ever tasted a bottle of La Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin? You will have to recognise that it is just the best you have ever had in your hands.

From the moment you uncork the bottle and you can hear that wonderful "pop", you know something great is about to happen... and then an aromatic sea (which goes from peaches to nuts), goes inside your brain. When the tiny little bubbles explode in your mouth, the same fruity feeling in your tongue.

The "Maison", settled in Reims, has been producing champagne for the last two centuries, but it was in 1805 when the widow of the heir took the bussiness and made it so successful, becoming the first woman running a champagne bussiness; that's why it has such a name. She was also called "La grande Dame de la Champagne", and to honour her, there's a champagne with that name: La grande Dame.

Please, taste it; you won't regret it.
