LA GRANDE DAME 2008
THE REFLECTION OF VEUVE CLICQUOT TERROIR.
CREATED IN 1962 AND LAUNCHED IN 1972 TO CELEBRATE THE BICENTENARY OF THE HOUSE, LA GRANDE DAME IS A WINE THAT IS BOTH A TRIBUTE TO MADAME CLICQUOT AND THE REFLECTION OF THE VEUVE CLICQUOT TERROIR. WHEN IT COMES TO DESCRIBING THE STYLE OF LA GRANDE DAME, THE FOLLOWING FOUR WORDS WOULD SUMMARIZE IT WELL: FRESHNESS, SILKINESS, ELEGANCE AND MINERALITY.
PURSUING THIS QUEST FOR PERFECTION VEUVE CLICQUOT REVEALS THIS NEW VINTAGE: LA GRANDE DAME 2008.
Bottle Size: 0.75L
Region: Champagne, France
BLEND
La Grande Dame 2008 is an exclusive blend of 6 of the Houses 8 historical Grands Crus.
92% Pinot Noir
8% Chardonnay
GRAPE SOURCING
The cuvee is made of 92% Pinot Noir (Ay, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, Verzenay) and 8% Chardonnay (Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger).
WINEMAKING
As a constant hallmark of the Houses style, the predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot. However, for this specific vintage of La Grande Dame 2008, the proportion of Pinot Noir was taken to another level (92%) one of the highest ever at Veuve Clicquot - as a true testimony of Madame Clicquots heritage and a tribute to her fondness for structure and strength.
MATURATION
According to the tradition and standards of reference of the House, the cuvee has been aged for 10 years in Veuve Clicquots century-old cellars.
DOSAGE
This unites into an elegant and perfect balance of freshness and structure, highlighted by the perfect dosage (6 g/l) that resonates with this cuvee tension.
FINAL RESULT
On the eye, La Grande Dame 2008 light gold color has a surprising glint. The initial nose reveals a strong attack, aerial and delicate. It presents notes of dried fruits (almonds, figs, apricots), ripe white fruits (pears), and finally, subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline. On the palate, the attack is strong and sharp. La Grande Dame 2008 bestows a silky texture upon young fruits, carried by citrus and red fruits (cherry) notes. The Pinot Noir, signature of the Veuve Clicquots style, shines extraordinarily by its freshness, minerality and power. La Grande Dame 2008 is a perfect combination of complexity, structure and strength. Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2008 is a great wine for gastronomy. This cuvee will pair extremely well with oysters, fish tartare, seafood or even chicken with sesame.
