La Grande Dame 2008 Champagne, the prestige cuvee of Veuve Clicquot, was created in tribute to Madame Clicquot. One of the finest champagne vintages, this Veuve Clicquot champagne is elegant, rich and complex with beautiful, mature aromas of dried fruits, praline, quince paste and truffle. To the eye, this sparkling wine presents with bright, golden glints. The initial nose reveals a strong, aerial and delicate rush. Once opened, the dry white wine has notes of dried fruit, including almonds, figs and apricots, plus pears with a finish of subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline. These pastry notes create a perfect balance with the freshness and clarity of the blend. The attack in the mouth is strong and clean with a silky texture on young fruits supported by citrus and notes of cherry. It contains Pinot Noir for freshness, minerality and power and Chardonnay. Open a wine bottle for celebrations or to enjoy anytime. This champagne is 12.5% alcohol by volume. It received 97 points from Decanter, 95 points from Wine Spectator and 95 points from Wine and Spirits. Synonymous with the art of living, Veuve Clicquot authentic champagnes continue to be of only one quality: the finest. Please drink responsibly.
