The 2008 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame is a prestigious cuvée that pays tribute to Madame Clicquot, the iconic figure of the Veuve Clicquot House. This vintage is a symbol of the House's style, characterized by its incomparable finesse.  It's an exclusive blend of 6 of the House’s 8 historical Grands Crus, composed of 92% Pinot Noir (Ay, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, Verzenay) and 8% Chardonnay (Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger). The initial nose reveals a strong yet delicate character, unfolding with notes of dried fruits (almonds, figs, apricots), ripe white fruits (pears), and subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline. These pastry notes are well-balanced by the blend's freshness and clarity.
