This Grande Dame is Veuve's prestige cuvée, in homage to Madame Clicquot herself, a pioneering businesswoman who bravely took over the Champagne house when her husband, François, unexpectedly died at the age of 30. Amongst the things Veuve (widow) Clicquot invented were the first vintage champagne in 1810, the first version of the pupitre in 1816, and the first blended rosé champagne by blending still red and white wines in 1818. It was fermented in stainless steel, with full MLF, and disgorged in February 2024 with 6 g/L. A highly dignified Dame, with brioche, white cherry, cherry blossoms, lemon, and patisserie filling a cushioned, yet finely boned palate, with autolytic notes balanced with chalky chiselled acidity.

The 2012 Brut Rosé La Grande Dame is the finest wine I've tasted from Veuve Clicquot in several decades. Offering up aromas of red berries, bee pollen, orange zest and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with a deep core of fruit and a vibrant, tightly coiled profile, concluding with a penetrating, sapid finish. This isn't the muscular, powerful Clicquot style of yesteryear, but it's a compelling effort in a fine-boned, more polished register.

The 2008 Brut Rosé La Grande Dame is also showing well, wafting from the glass with notes of red berries, warm spices, toasted brioche and citrus rind. Full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's a vinous, muscular wine like its white sibling, with a lively spine of acidity and delicately phenolic back-end grip.

Veuve Clicquot - La Grande Dame

Disfruta del sabor lujoso del champagne La Grande Dame de Veuve Clicquot. Este champagne exquisito está hecho de una mezcla de uvas Pinot Noir y Chardonnay, creando un perfil de sabor único y complejo que seguramente impresionará.

La historia de Veuve Clicquot se remonta a 1772, cuando Philippe Clicquot estableció la empresa en Reims, Francia. Sin embargo, fue su viuda, Madame Clicquot, quien verdaderamente revolucionó la industria del champagne con sus técnicas innovadoras y su dedicación inquebrantable a la calidad.

La Grande Dame es un tributo a la propia Madame Clicquot, y se produce solo en vendimias excepcionales. El champagne se envejece durante al menos ocho años, lo que resulta en un sabor rico y corpulento con notas de brioche, miel y almendras tostadas.
