Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2006 Champagne 75cl
Madame Clicquot was an audacious woman. When her husband died in 1805, she took over the reins of the business at 27 years old, with one tireless vision – “Only one quality, the finest”. La Grande Dame, is a showcase of the House’s excellence. It perfectly expresses its love for Pinot Noir, which since the 2008 vintage, has represented over 90% of the blend. It is a tribute to Madame Clicquot and to the creative and elegant souls who have followed in her footsteps.
La Grande Dame 2006 is an exclusive blend of our eight classic Grands Crus: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir (53%); Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay (47%). On the nose: Saline and mineral aromas, with notes of red fruits and toasted aromas. On the palate: Substantial,crisp and silky, perfect for cuisine pairing.

Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
The winter was particularly cold and long. The spring was mixed, but with good conditions for budding. The flowers opened in late June, in what was unseasonally hot weather. The summer was chaotic, with an August worthy of late autumn. Fortunately, the vines were able to draw on their reserves, to produce an abundant yield of superb quality. Therefore, between 14 and 29 September, we harvested a very fine crop of grapes. At the very end of picking, Botrytis struck, though it had no impact on the quality of the harvest. An effective sorting operation was carried out. The Pinot Noir wines are fruity and full-bodied; the Chardonnay wines are of considerable distinction. The red wines of Clos Colin in Bouzy offer a superb balance, with a rich, crisp fleshiness.
In the mouth, it is plump and full of substance. The texture is crisp and silky. The tannins are still present, calling for a cuisine with texture to bring out the best in this wine. The finish is long and coats the palate. The tannins are already very well integrated and can be expected to blend in still further over the coming years.
Matches perfectly with lobster, lamb, langoustine, mushrooms and sea urchins.
Veuve Clicquot's La Grande Dame Rosé 2006 Champagne is only produced in very limited amounts from 8 crus selected from Madame's own vineyards.
The blend comprises of Pinot Noir (53%), Chardonnay (47%) the 2006 Rosé vintage of La Grande Dame has a nose that is fruitful and intense with notes of berries and toasted hazelnuts. An equally powerful palate with a long mineral finish and a silky texture, with subtle tannins coming from the pinot noir.
