2008 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Champagne La Grande Dame 1.5L
Located in New York
$395.00
A vintage known for producing Champagnes of extraordinary depth and complexity, the 2008 Grande Dame showcases near-perfect balance, with bright acid laid atop a structured backbone – a classic 2008 Champagne. Silky, robust, and elegantly layered, the blend is dominated by Pinot Noir (92%) unfurling with rich aromas of dried fig and apricot, complemented by lush, ripe white pears, hazelnut, and praline. Its inherent freshness is infused with these pastry-like notes, accentuated with subtle spice and smoke on the finish. Complex and lovely – a collector’s gem.

Reviews & Scores
Still very youthful, this proves that pinot noir can give super-elegant, cool and tightly focused Champagne. Toastiness and spice build on the very long and tightly wound finish. Almost a blanc de noirs with just 10% Chardonnay blended into the overwhelming majority of Pinot Noir. - JS

Now almost blanc de noirs, boasting 92% Pinot Noir and just 8% Chardonnay from 60%-70% estate vineyards. La Grande Dame is one of the most affordable of Champagne’s elite prestige set, and the stunning 2008 vintage was intricately engineered by the masterful Dominique Demarville for the long haul. It unites all of the enduring potential of its thundering grands crus with the tension and energy of this legendary season, colliding high-tensile acidity with deep, fine, powdery chalk minerality, bringing its finish into stark focus.

DC97May 2020
92% Pinor Noir: Ambonnay (4%), Aÿ (14%), Bouzy (23%), Verzy (37%), Verzenay (14%), and just 8% of Chardonnay (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger). Dominique Demarville wanted to replicate the classical La Grande Vintages of old by maximising the expression of Pinot Noir (92% in the case of 2008). Biscuity aromas to the fore, with notes of Almond and chocolate. The palate has a firm line of acidity that gives way to stone fruits mid-palate, the aromas turn full circle and close down to a long, chalky minerality on the finish. The long lees aging has enriched the wine with a complex, yeasty richness that feels immediate, but experience tells me to wait for the fruit to build. Should give us long-term potential pleasure.

JM96February 2019
An elegant Champagne, powered by a sculpted frame of acidity and minerality, this wears the refined, lacy mousse and well-meshed flavors of black currant, lemon curd, toast and marzipan like finely tailored clothing. Fresh and lasting, with hints of spice and smoke on the finish. (AN) - WS
