Description
La Grande Dame cuvée honours Madame Clicquot's brilliant vision for champagne with a blend crafted upon 90% Pinot Noir, her favourite grape variety. Ahead of her time, she wrote: "Our black grapes give the finest white wines."
This limited edition, designed by Jacquemus, is adorned with a handwritten logo set against the iconic yellow label. It is draped in white linen, delicately embroidered with yellow calligraphy, a reference to the famous Italian tradition of chilling bottles. Presented within a gift box sheathed in “toile du Marais,” the design is completed with sunray motifs and a ribbon that alternates between the Veuve Clicquot logo and Simon’s signature, seamlessly bridging the worlds of couture and champagne.
"The long sunny days and warmth of the 2018 vintage has provided glowing stone and citrus fruit to this glorious Grande Dame. While the initial attack plays on various riffs of lemon oil, verbena, orange rind and grapefruit, it's the deeply mineral and tightly wound core that surprises most with this wine, and this is what will ensure its long-term ageing potential. Delectable candied orange rind builds to a crescendo of yuzu and coconut cream. A luminous and energetic iteration of La Grande Dame." 97 Points - Natalie Earl, Decanter
