Veuve Clicquot’s La Grande Dame 2008, from the Grands Crus of Champagne, blends Pinot Noir (92%) and Chardonnay (8%). Aged nine years on the lees, it offers a golden color, dried fruit aromas and a fresh, mineral palate. Ideal with seafood or refined dishes; enjoy by 2030.
Founded in 1772, the Champagne house Veuve Clicquot embodies an exceptional winemaking heritage, defined by the boldness and precision of its style.
- Terroir: A blend of Grands Crus from Champagne – Pinot Noir from the slopes of Aÿ, Ambonnay or Verzy and Chardonnay from the chalky soils of Mesnil-sur-Oger – for a mineral, fruit-driven expression.
- Winemaking: Extended aging on the lees, measured dosage and respect for the grape varieties produce champagnes that are both powerful and elegant.
Tasting notes for Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2008
Appearance – Pale gold with crystal clarity and bright, persistent highlights.
On the nose – Initially airy, with notes of fresh almonds and Williams pear, followed by deeper hints of dried fig and praline, lifted by a saline, mineral touch.
On the palate – A clean, precise opening where the tension of Pinot Noir meets a silky texture, carried by citrus and cherry aromas before a long, chalky finish.
Serve at 10–12 °C in a champagne flute to preserve its freshness and complexity.
2008 vintage
A balanced vintage in which freshness and ripeness come together to create a cuvée with harmonious structure and pronounced minerality.
- Aging potential: 15–20 years; store in a cool cellar (12–14 °C), away from light.
