Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Brut Champagne 2008 Giftbox

Presented in a gift box, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2008 is a prestige vintage Champagne built around an unusually high 92% share of Pinot Noir, giving it the structure and depth that define this cuvée. The series honours Madame Clicquot, whose innovations helped shape modern Champagne; its first vintage was released in 1972 to mark the house’s bicentenary.

Tasting Notes
Fine golden hues lead into aromas of dried fruit, including almond, fig and apricot, lifted by fresh pear. Toasted hazelnut and praline add warmth and richness.

Production
The 2008 blend is 92% Pinot Noir from Veuve Clicquot’s historic Grand Cru vineyards in Aÿ, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy and Verzenay, with 8% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The available information does not specify harvesting methods or vinification details.

Food & Serving
Enjoy with roast poultry, lobster, scallops or mature cheeses, whose richness complements the wine’s fruit and toasted notes. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. A short time in the glass can help the aromas open; decanting is generally unnecessary for Champagne.

Producer
Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is one of Champagne’s historic houses. Madame Clicquot is credited with pioneering the riddling table, which helped clarify Champagne, and with producing an early vintage Champagne in 1810 and an early rosé Champagne in 1818 using the blending method widely used today. La Grande Dame was created in tribute to her legacy.
