Description

Crafted to embody the essence of La Grande Dame herself, Veuve Clicquot's history in the Grand Cru terroirs dates back to 1760. Madame Clicquot, driven by her unwavering pursuit of excellence, recognized the paramount importance of selecting the finest grapes to create the most exquisite champagne. Her remarkable intuition led her to unearth exceptional vineyard parcels, now revered as some of the region's finest, including Verzenay, Verzy, and Bouzy, all proudly classified as Grand Cru vineyards and integral to the distinctive blend of La Grande Dame.

In the realm of exceptional Champagne vintages, La Grande Dame 2008 stands as a pinnacle of elegance, richness, and complexity. Its profile is graced by the enchanting bouquet of mature aromas, where notes of dried fruits, praline, quince paste, and truffle converge to create an extraordinary sensory experience. With a remarkable aging potential exceeding 20 years, La Grande Dame 2008 is a true collector's treasure.

Review

An elegant Champagne, powered by a sculpted frame of acidity and minerality, this wears the refined, lacy mousse and well-meshed flavours of black currant, lemon curd, toast, and marzipan-like finely tailored clothing. Fresh and lasting, with hints of spice and smoke on the finish. Disgorged August 2016.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Aromas of dried fruits (almonds, figs, apricots), ripe white fruits (pears), and finally, subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline. The luscious pastry notes are well balanced with the blend’s freshness and clarity.
Palate
The palate is strong and sharp. La Grande Dame 2008 bestows a silky texture upon young fruits, carried by citrus and red fruit (cherry) notes.
