Veuve Clicquot Description

Winemaker Notes

La Grande Dame pays tribute to Madame Clicquot. She used to say "Our black grapes give the finest white wines." The Glory of Pinot Noir. La Grande Dame 2015 respects Madame Clicquot's vision of Pinot Noir, which is about 90% since 2008, using historical Grand Crus.

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2015 offers floral notes (acacia, jasmine) alongside white fruits (Granny Smith apple, pear), citrus notes (grapefruit, clementine, lemon zest), and white pepper, ginger, chalk, and stones.

Blend: 90% Pinot Noir; 10% Chardonnay

Did You Know?

The name La Grande Dame was inspired by Madame Clicquot's nickname: "La Grande Dame de la Champagne." La Grande Dame 2015 is the 24th vintage since 1972, when Veuve Clicquot launched its first prestige cuvée to celebrate the House's bicentenary.

Tasting Panel
With 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay from eight Grands Crus, this marks the 24th vintage of La Grande Dame since its inauguration in 1972. And what a finely wrought vintage it is already, with verve equal to its supple polish. Joining Bosc pear, sweet brioche, and lemon curd on the nose are fascinating nuances of smoke, stony minerality, and petrichor as well as jasmine and ginger; while the rippling palate builds steadily through peach and Asian pear to pomelo and tangerine peel to tangy sumac and white pepper on the finish. Stylish as ever.

COMMENTARY: The 2015 Champagne Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Brut is sleek, linear, and focused. This is an impeccable performance. TASTING NOTES: Drawing from some of Champagne's finest and highest-rated vineyards, this wine delivers aromas and flavors of green apple with a whisper of minerality and chalkiness. Enjoy its sublime quality with the best moments life offers. (Tasted: October 29, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator

This graceful Champagne offers hints of smoke and toasted brioche that transition to patisserie apple and blackberry fruit, candied ginger and mandarin orange peel notes. Seamlessly knit and mouthwatering, with a minerally underpinning and a finely detailed, dotted bead. Lush and creamy on the vibrant, lasting finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2035.
