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.

Didier Mariotti offers in his prestige cuvée the vintage 2015 of La Grande Dame in both white and rosé: two absolute monuments even though the rosé version will take a bit more time to fully open up. Rarely has the shift of this cuvée towards a style almost exclusively driven by Pinot Noir been expressed so brilliantly.

The 2015 La Grande Dame is bright and nicely focused. There's good energy driving a core of Pinot Noir fruit. Pear, white owers, mint, white pepper and lime are nicely delineated. The 2015 is not the most complex Grande Dame I have ever tasted, but it oers plenty of immediacy with no vegetal notes or hard contours that have proven so challenging elsewhere. This is an expertly made Champagne by any measure. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: October, 2021. Drink 2023-2030
