Description

Champagne Veuve Clicquot
La Grande Dame Magnum 2012

The Grande Dame is the Cuvée de Prestige of the Maison, a great wine honouring Madame Clicquot. It was born in 1972 with the Vintage 1962, when the Maison turned 200. Its history began 10 years before, when 8 terroirs, classified as Grand Cru, were selected by Madame Clicquot, after her long experience in the field. The assemblage is mostly Pinot Noir, from the best parcels in Montagne de Reims (Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay, Bouzy) and Grande Vallée de la Marne (Ay), contrasting with the freshness of Chardonnay, grown in Côte des Blancs (Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger). 

The Grande Dame rests for a long time, at least 6 years, before being able to grant incredible feelings. It has a fresh start, followed by strong and brave notes, a fresh perlage and a complete harmonious symphony. The precious essence of Grande Dame is contained in an elegant bottle, with dark glass and its typical symbols: the anchor, symbol of the Maison, the letters VCP directly engraved in the glass and the comet of 1811, which granted the exceptional quality of grapes that year. This wine was also called "The comet wine".

Champagne Veuve Clicquot

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin is an important Maison, founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, coming from a family of bankers and merchants, also owning vineyards. He opened a négoce de vin à l’enseigne Clicquot with the aim of exporting it all over the world: a commercial document form the Maison's archives confirms that the first delivery took place in 1772 and was shipped to Venice. In 1805 François Clicquot left too soon and Madame Clicquot, a 27-year-old widow, became the company's manager: she was one of the first business women in the modern era. In 1810 Madame Clicquot showed the world her creative spirit and she produced the first Vintage Champagne in the world. In 1963 Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin turned into a Ltd. and in 1986 joined the Louis Vuitton Group. The Veuve Clicquot vines are absolutely one of the best in the Champagne region, both for their size and their quality: 382 hectares, comprising 12 out of 17 Grand Cru and 18 out of 39 Premier Cru, which delivers 26-28% of the Maison's provision. The remaining production comes from vine growers in the Champagne region, selected for their quality and linked to the Maison by lifelong aggrements. The Veuve Clicquot style with a strong predominance of Pinot Noir grants the wines structure and strength. Together with fineness and freshness of Chardonnay, the wines acquire the unique style of Veuve Clicquot, distinctive trait of a great Maison de Champagne. The vinous taste reveals the great and perfectly controlled complexity of it.
