La Grande Dame 2018 is Veuve Clicquot’s prestige cuvée, a Champagne created to showcase the house’s finest Pinot Noir and the elegance of its most exceptional vintage years. Crafted from the estate’s hallmark style, it combines precision, depth, and the signature sophistication that has made Veuve Clicquot one of the most celebrated names in Champagne.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a luminous golden color with a refined, persistent mousse. The nose is precise and layered, with notes of citrus zest, white flowers, stone fruit, toasted brioche, and a subtle mineral edge.
The palate is poised and textural, balancing freshness with ripe fruit, fine structure, and a long, elegant finish. While already impressive, it has the concentration and backbone to age beautifully for many years, gaining extra complexity and depth over time.
Production
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Champagne, La Grande Dame is built around Pinot Noir, the grape that defines the cuvée’s structure and personality. Veuve Clicquot’s production focuses on the best parcels and a precise vinification approach to preserve freshness, aromatic intensity, and finesse.
Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as scallops, lobster, sushi, roast chicken, truffled risotto, or aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short rest in the glass can help the wine раскры its full aromatic complexity.
Producer
Veuve Clicquot is one of Champagne’s most historic and influential houses, founded in 1772 and shaped by the visionary leadership of Madame Clicquot in the early 19th century. Renowned for innovation and quality, the house helped define modern Champagne and remains especially known for its Pinot Noir-driven style and iconic prestige cuvées.
