With an unusually high 92% Pinot Noir from historic Grand Cru vineyards, this magnum-format Champagne offers both finesse and power, making it a true collector’s bottle from one of Champagne’s most celebrated houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, La Grande Dame 2008 shows a refined golden colour with a luminous, elegant sheen. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with dried fruits such as almonds, figs, and apricots, lifted by fresh pear and wrapped in notes of roasted hazelnuts and praline.\n\nOn the palate, it is intense yet remarkably silky, with cherry and citrus adding brightness and precision to the wine’s deep, structured core. The texture is smooth and graceful, with the Pinot Noir giving the Champagne its signature backbone and persistence. This is a vintage with excellent aging potential, and the magnum format will help it develop even more slowly and beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Grande Dame 2008 is built around Pinot Noir sourced from Veuve Clicquot’s own Grand Cru vineyards in Aÿ, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, and Verzenay, with the remaining Chardonnay coming from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. These sites are among the most prized in Champagne, combining chalk-rich soils, excellent exposure, and the concentration needed for a Champagne of real precision and stature. The cuvée was crafted with a focus on expressing the noble character of these vineyards, with vinification guided by the house’s long-standing expertise in blending and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast poultry, truffle risotto, or delicate dishes with mushrooms and cream. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and lightly salted seafood. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and while decanting is not usually necessary for Champagne, allowing it a few minutes in the glass can help the aromas open beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Veuve Clicquot is one of the most iconic names in Champagne, founded in 1772 and forever shaped by the vision of Madame Clicquot, one of the great pioneers of the wine world. Her innovations helped define modern Champagne production, from early vintage Champagne to techniques that improved clarity and quality, and her influence still resonates throughout the region today. La Grande Dame was introduced in 1972 to honour the house’s 200th anniversary and remains one of its most distinguished achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Veuve Clicquot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122452373746,"sku":"FW-6356","price":535.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/xrbzl1s9q_qzwngzwpxnna_pb_x960_2.png?v=1777476103","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/veuve-clicquot-la-grande-dame-brut-champagne-2008-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
