Description
This gift set includes a bottle of La Grande Dame 2008 and 6 Veuve Clicquot tasting glasses.
La Grande Dame 2008 is the cuvée symbolizing the quest for perfection of the House of Veuve Clicquot and its cellar master Dominique Demarville.
This cuvée was created in 1962 and marketed for the first time in 1972 to celebrate the house's bicentenary.
The 2008 vintage is considered one of the finest in Champagne in recent decades. It's a vintage that evokes extraordinary vintages such as 1995, 1985 and 1979.
La Grande Dame 2008 Veuve Clicquot is a blend of 6 of the House's 8 historic Grands Crus: Aÿ, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, Verzenay for the Pinot Noir and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay.
The dominant Pinot Noir (92%) adds power. This is the first time that this proportion of Pinot Noir has been so high in the blend of La Grande Dame.
La Grande Dame 2008 has a luminous, golden color.
On the nose, the champagne reveals a strong, airy and delicate attack. Once opened, the wine reveals notes of dried fruit (almonds, figs, apricots), ripe white fruit (pears) and, finally, subtle toasty notes of hazelnut and praline. These pastry notes create a perfect balance with the freshness and precision of the blend.
On the palate, after a strong, clean attack, we discover a wine with a silky texture. Notes of red fruit and citrus. The palate is extraordinarily fresh, mineral and powerful. Grande Dame 2008 is a perfect balance of complexity, structure and power.
The Grande Dame 2008 Veuve Clicquot is a perfect match for haute gastronomie dishes, or seafood.
Presentation of Dominique Demarville
"My vision is to take La Grande Dame to the finesse and elegance that Pinot Noir offers us in these Grands Crus. In a way, it's the expression of the Veuve Clicquot 'twist' to combine depth and silkiness with lightness and elegance in this exceptional cuvée".
