Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2015

Brilliant pale gold with a refined, persistent mousse, La Grande Dame 2015 opens with a poised aromatic profile—white cherry, citrus blossom, blanched almond, and subtle pastry, framed by flint and sea breeze. The palate is linear and focused, revealing layers of grapefruit, stone fruit, and delicate spice over a tensile, chalk-driven core. Pinot Noir—dominant yet finely sculpted—brings structure and length, while a whisper of Chardonnay lends lift and finesse. The mousse is creamy yet vibrant, guiding a finish that is long, saline, and quietly powerful. A cuvée of elegance and strength, the 2015 vintage captures La Grande Dame’s hallmark purity and verticality—resolute, expressive, and deeply poised.
