The 1979 *La Grande Dame* is a remarkable testament to Veuve Clicquot’s ability to craft age-worthy, prestige Champagnes. Sourced from the house’s finest Grand Cru vineyards, this blend of predominantly Pinot Noir with Chardonnay has spent over four decades maturing into a beautifully evolved wine of depth and character. With its extended aging, the wine expresses an extraordinary balance between richness and freshness.

The nose is deep and complex, offering aromas of dried figs, baked apple, toasted nuts, and hints of aged vanilla. On the palate, the texture is layered and creamy, unveiling notes of honey, caramelized citrus, and delicate spice, all underpinned by a persistent mineral core. Despite its maturity, the wine retains a remarkable vitality, with acidity that still provides lift and energy.

A perfect companion for aged cheeses, foie gras, or dishes with earthy truffle notes, *La Grande Dame 1979* is a truly special experience for collectors and Champagne lovers alike. This is a rare opportunity to taste one of Veuve Clicquot’s most historic vintages in peak condition.

"The 1979 Brut La Grande Dame is showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with a rich bouquet of orange rind, clear honey, coniferous forest floor, wheat toast and hints of black truffle. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's textural and concentrated, with lively acids, a pinpoint mousse and a long, saline finish. This is a muscular, intense Grande Dame at the peak of its powers." -Robert Parker
