Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Brut – Champagne – 1993:

 

La Grande Dame stands as Veuve Clicquot’s Prestige Cuvée, a Vintage Brut Champagne created in profound homage to Barbe-Nicole Clicquot-Ponsardin, the formidable ‘Grande Dame of Champagne.’ It is the purest expression of the House’s historic Grand Cru vineyards.

With a blend heavily weighted towards Grand Cru Pinot Noir (up to 90%), the wine is meticulously structured to achieve the Cellar Master’s vision of verticality and precision. This Champagne is built for the cellar and for the most significant milestones.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale gold with a delicate, persistent stream of fine bubbles (mousse).
• Nose: A highly expressive nose of white florals (acacia) and ripe orchard fruits, giving way to classic notes of toasted brioche, fresh lemon zest, and a hint of salinity.
• Palate: Elegant and precise, with a creamy, velvety texture. The powerful Pinot Noir backbone provides a firm, chalky structure and a beautifully long, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairings & Service

The structure and complexity of La Grande Dame make it a sublime partner for high-end cuisine. Serve at 10-12°C.

• Recommended Pairings: Fresh Langoustines, Roast Turbot with Hollandaise sauce, or Quail Eggs with Caviar.
