La Grande Dame is the ultimate tribute to Madame Clicquot, the 'Grand Dame of Champagne' who took the reins of the house in 1805 and revolutionized the region with her invention of the riddling table. This prestige cuvee is a masterclass in Pinot Noir dominance, sourced from the house's historical Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, including Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay, balanced by Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. The Trilogie Assortment Case offers a curated journey through three distinct vintage expressions of this iconic cuvee, showcasing how the mineral-driven, structured, and intensely complex profile of La Grande Dame evolves over decades of precise cellar aging.
