Madame Clicquot was an audacious woman. When her husband died in 1805, she took over the reins of the business at 27 years old, with one tireless vision – “Only one quality, the finest”. La Grande Dame, is a showcase of the House’s excellence. It perfectly expresses its love for Pinot Noir. For the House of Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame 1990 is the champagne of the millennium, launched in 1999 to inaugurate the 2000s. Our hidden treasure. The House decided to draw prestigious magnums and jeroboams from this year endowed with exceptional sunshine. Read more.

Description
La Grande Dame 1990’s signature blend draws traditionally on the eight Grands Crus, which are among the most prestigious in Champagne. It is dominated by Pinot Noir, with nearly 61%. These grapes come from Aÿ, in the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay and Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. The Chardonnay portion of 39% was harvested from the vines in the Grands Crus of Avize, Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, La Grande Dame 1990 offers highly expressive opening notes of candied fruit - apricot, mango, fig, quince and dates. These are then joined by warm, gourmet patisserie notes - marzipan, tarte tatin, almonds and pralines. In the mouth, the opening is like a sunburst, fresh and energetic and the texture is both rich and silky. The prolonged aging of this vintage gives the wine depth and power
