Veuve Clicquot Champagne La Grande Dame 2018

$19999

La Grande Dame is Veuve Clicquot's prestige cuvée, named in honor of Madame Clicquot herself — the widow who, in the early 1800s, invented riddling (remuage) and dragged Champagne into the modern era. The 2018 is a Pinot Noir-dominant vintage drawn from the house's historic Grand Cru parcels, built for ceremony and serious meals. Expect the depth and breadth Pinot brings, wrapped in Clicquot's signature creamy precision. A bottle that earns the occasion it's poured for.

More about Veuve Clicquot

By now, Veuve Clicquot has become a household name. Known for its distinctive yellow label the world over, the Maison is a ubiquitous symbol of luxury and celebration. The most elusive and exclusive of the Veuve Clicquot lineup is of course their tête de cuvée: La Grande Dame. 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 Ponsardin and the reflection of the Veuve Clicquot terroir.

Lobster thermidor, roast capon with truffle butter, aged comté, oysters with caviar, seared duck breast.

Tasting Profile

Full-bodied and creamy with a fine, persistent mousse. Brioche, toasted hazelnut, baked apple, a thread of citrus zest, and a chalky, mineral-driven finish that goes on and on.
