La Grande Dame 2016 : Prestigious, Complex & Timeless

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2006 is the estate’s flagship vintage, named in honor of Madame Clicquot herself. Crafted from a precise blend of 53 % Pinot Noir and 47 % Chardonnay sourced from eight Grand‑Cru vineyards across Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, this rare cuvée was released after over seven years of aging on lees, offering a luxurious and enduring expression.

On the nose, it delivers an intense and complex bouquet. Initial notes of saline minerality and citrus are followed by floral hints of acacia and peony, juicy orchard fruits like pear and bush peach, and deeper tertiary aromas of toasted brioche, roasted almonds, gingerbread and nougat. The palate is full‑bodied and rounded, with vibrant yet velvety mousse delivering flavors of yellow peach, grapefruit zest and rich orchard fruit, all woven together by a crisp chalk‑like minerality. An elegant oak influence brings coffee bean, toast and almond nougat nuances. The finish is long, precise and refined. It closes clean yet complex, echoing spicy mineral tones, light earthiness and a lingering trace of candied citrus and gentle coffee .

Whether you're raising a toast on Palm Jumeirah or celebrating in Saadiyat Island’s cultural setting, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2006 brings regal elegance, layered complexity and true Champagne prestige to any occasion.
