La Grande Dame is the ultimate expression of the House of Veuve Clicquot, a Champagne created in 1972 to honor the remarkable legacy of Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin—the visionary "Grande Dame of Champagne." After taking over the house in 1805, she revolutionized Champagne production by inventing the riddling table, pioneering vintage Champagne, and transforming Veuve Clicquot into one of the world's most celebrated Champagne houses. Today, La Grande Dame represents her relentless pursuit of excellence and the belief that "our black grapes give the finest white wines." The 2015 La Grande Dame is composed of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from eight historic Grand Cru vineyards, reflecting Madame Clicquot's vision that Pinot Noir should be the soul of the house. The warm and generous 2015 growing season produced beautifully ripe fruit while preserving the freshness and precision that define great Champagne.
