Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The 2008 vintage, one of the most acidic of the Champagne decade, imparts a razor-sharp mineral and citrus-driven tension.
Roundness
The addition of 14% still red wine from the Clos Colin in Bouzy wraps the palate in ripe red fruits and a vinous, seductive warmth.
Power
The dominance of 100% Grand Cru Pinot Noir (92%) delivers a fleshy, broad structure with a remarkably commanding presence.
Length
Eight years on the lees have sculpted a finish of exceptional length, with nuances of praline, truffle and gentle spice.

TASTING NOTES

A copper-rose gold robe with intense salmon highlights, crowned by a fine, persistent mousse of remarkable staying power. The nose unfolds a generous, evolved palette: praline, quince paste, dried fruits and white truffle, underpinned by hints of raspberry and wild strawberry. The palate is silky and broad, carried by the razor-sharp mineral tension characteristic of the 2008 vintage, with a spiced, seemingly interminable finish that confirms the extraordinary ageing potential of this Grande Dame.

92%Pinot Noir
8%Chardonnay

Terroirs

A 100% Grand Cru blend sourced from Champagne's most sought-after vineyards: Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Aÿ, Bouzy, Verzenay and Verzy (Montagne de Reims), and Chardonnay from Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger (Côte des Blancs). The rosé hue is achieved through the addition of 14% still red wine from the Clos Colin, the house's emblematic single-parcel vineyard in Bouzy.

Veuve Clicquot

About this house

Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot stands among the most iconic Champagne houses in the world. It was Nicole-Barbe Clicquot-Ponsardin — the 'Grande Dame' herself — who shaped the soul of the house in the nineteenth century, inventing the riddling rack and laying the foundations of modern Champagne-making.

Today part of the LVMH group, the house draws on a benchmark estate and the expertise of its cellar teams to produce Champagnes of exemplary stylistic consistency. The cuvée La Grande Dame, created in tribute to its founding figure, represents the house's most elevated and ambitious expression.

The complexity and depth of the Rosé 2008 pair magnificently with the silky richness of foie gras.

The mineral tension and fruity roundness of the Grand Cru Pinot Noir beautifully elevate the sweet, briny delicacy of lobster.

The breadth and truffle-laced notes of the Grande Dame Rosé find their perfect echo in the nobility of a truffle-roasted guinea fowl.
