LVMH

Faithful to her motto — “Only one quality, the finest”— this cuvée is an homage to the pioneer who in 1810 created the first ever vintage champagne.

Crafted from an exceptional blend dominated by 90% pinot noir – the Maison’s emblematic grape variety – La Grande Dame 2018 reveals Veuve Clicquot’s mastery in expressing the intensity and elegance of the pinot noir grape in an ideal balance. With grapes sourced from eight of the Maison’s historic grands crus vineyards, the 2018 vintage is the fruit of ideal climatic conditions and a generous harvest of perfectly ripe grapes, giving birth to a wine with distinctive character, at the same time complex and harmonious.

La Grande Dame 2018 has a singular tension, purity and finesse. The nose reveals floral and mineral notes, subtly enhanced by aromas of white fruit, honey, almond and confit citrus fruit. On the palate, the smooth precision of the texture, remarkable freshness and persistent salinity characterize this expressive cuvée, which has significant aging potential.
