Regarding the Champagne Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Blanc 2018 in gift box
A symbol of excellence and audacity, a true icon of the Maison Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame 2018 celebrates the heritage of Madame Clicquot through a resolutely modern interpretation. The blend, dominated by 90% Pinot Noir and complemented by 10% Chardonnay, precisely illustrates the quest for elegance and purity that characterizes this signature. A rare and assertive expression of the Art of Pinot Noir.
A sunny vintage par excellence, 2018 offers ideal grape maturity and perfectly controlled richness. A signature year that gives La Grande Dame a powerful yet elegantly structured dimension, true to the House's spirit of excellence.
To the eye, La Grande Dame 2018 seduces with its luminous color, reflecting a generous vintage. The bouquet opens delicately with vibrant citrus notes - lemon, yuzu - mingled with nuances of white fruit and spring flowers. On the palate, the experience is remarkably precise: tension, finesse and freshness intertwine in chiseled harmony, carried by a subtle salinity. The brut dosage, finely adjusted to 6 g/L, underlines the wine's purity and prolongs a sensation of sophisticated balance.
This cuvée is a natural choice for special occasions. Served between 10 and 12°C, it reveals all its complexity alongside refined dishes: langoustines, scallop carpaccio, or delicately worked poultry. It also lends itself to exceptional aperitif tasting, where its precision and brilliance immediately captivate the senses.
With its remarkable ageing potential, La Grande Dame 2018 can evolve gracefully for up to fifteen years. Kept in optimal conditions, it will develop an even deeper aromatic palette over time, revealing complex nuances and an increasingly enveloping texture.
Veuve-Clicquot's prestige cuvée is sold here in a superb gift box.
