Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin La Grande Dame Brut (2015) in box

La Grande Dame 2015 is an exceptional sunny vintage for a wine full of tension and elegance. It reveals this great wine’s verticality thanks to the Pinot Noirs harvested from our historical Grands Crus.

Held up to the light, La Grande Dame 2015 reveals a beautiful, golden robe that sparkles brightly. This solar vintage, while elegant and precise, offers fresh minerality with light floral notes of jasmine and acacia on the nose, which evolve into fruity notes of pear and clementine. As for the first sip, it envelops the palate with a delightfully subtle, silky texture.

Perfect pairing - A salad with lobster carpaccio, citrus fruits and pumpkin from the vegetable garden will perfectly reveal the elegance and freshness of La Grande Dame 2015.

It is impossible to state how influential Madame Clicquot is to the Champagne industry as well as our enjoyment of this bubbly wine region. It is also impossible to briefly roll off her accomplishments. So, let’s just get to it. This is the latest vintage release of the Veuve Clicquot line of Champagne and does not disappoint. Slight hints of brioche with some candied pineapple or pear on the nose. That crystallized fruit is countered on the palate with extremely bracing acidity that calms the sweetness. The mouthfeel has a nice texture beneath the rapidly rising bubbles. It’s ready for a celebration or a huge plate of oysters. <VinePair's 2022 Top 50>
