Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame

Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot came to prominence under the remarkable leadership of Madame Clicquot, known as the “Grande Dame of Champagne.” Widowed young, she transformed the house with pioneering innovations; creating the first vintage Champagne, inventing riddling to clarify wine and developing rosé through blending. Her determination and vision helped shape modern Champagne, securing its place at the tables of Europe’s high society during the Napoleonic era. La Grande Dame is a fitting tribute to Madame Clicquot’s legacy and showcases the house’s mastery of Pinot Noir, blending Pinot Noir (90%) and Chardonnay from top Grand Cru vineyards that she helped secure.
