Champagne Veuve Clicquot - La Grande Dame 2008

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021
(around 115 euros per bottle)
Mythical champagne

 

 

Aspect:

 

Golden and brilliant.

 

Refined and dynamic bubbles.

 

Nose:

 

Sensual and elegant.

 

The majority of Pinot Noir (92%), selected in the Grands Crus (Aÿ, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy and Verzenay), gently establishes itself with generous aromas of red and black fruits, punctuated by subtle spices (liquorice, pepper and cinnamon).

Palate:

 

The outstanding finesse of the opening, underlined by flavours of white fruits and candied citrus fruits, delicate signatures of the Chardonnay (8%) from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs, unveils a bright fullness, characteristic sign of the maturity of the champagne obtained by 10 years of ageing on laths of the bottles, in the cellars of the house.

 

With this cuvée La Grande Dame 2008, Dominique Demarville, cellar master, signs a magnificent champagne.
