Description
La Grande Dame is Veuve Clicquot's prestige cuvée and embodies the house's most elegant and precise interpretation. Pinot Noir takes center stage, lending the Champagne depth, structure, and exceptional nobility. The grand cru vineyards of the Montagne de Reims provide power and, at the same time, remarkable finesse.
The 2018 vintage is particularly generous and energetic. The warm vintage brings much ripeness, concentration, and expression, yet La Grande Dame maintains impressive freshness and precision. Instead of pure opulence, the cuvée clearly focuses on balance, tension, and a very elegant linearity. It is precisely this combination of power and ethereal finesse that makes the 2018 so fascinating.
The long lees aging provides additional depth and incredibly fine perlage. As a result, La Grande Dame displays a grand and very precise Champagne style—complex, mineral, with a long, aristocratic finish and great aging potential.
