Launched in 1972, a tribute to Madame Clicquot named La Grande Dame de la Champagne is an exclusive blend of eight traditional grand crus reaching a peak of refinement - voluptuous, rich and simply stunning.

La Grande Dame is an exclusive blend of eight classic Grands Crus: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir (53%); Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay (47%).

Intense color with copper glints. Very small, sparkling bubbles. The initial nose reveals a saline, mineral background, followed by floral notes such as acacia and peony, along with notes of fresh fruit including bush peach and pear, finished with toasted notes of hazelnut and roasted almonds. When swirled the bouquet becomes rich and voluptuous, with notes of brioche, nougat, ginger, and preserved lemon. On the palate, the wine is plump and full of substance. The texture is crisp and silky. The minerality of the chalk resonates brightly with the fleshy structure and contributes to the length of finish. The endnote is fresh and generous, hinting at a discreet dosage followed by a long period of post-disgorgement aging, so as not to disturb the wine’s natural equilibrium.

Especially recommended as an accompaniment to oysters, crab, sea bass, turbot, scallops, caviar, truffles, or hard aged cheese such as Parmesan.
