Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rose 2008 750ml

La Grande Dame Rosé is Veuve Clicquot's prestige pink, and its color comes from a single vineyard: still red Pinot Noir from Clos Colin in Bouzy, 14% of this 2008.

The 2008 is 92% Pinot Noir from Aÿ, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy and Verzenay and 8% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, all Grand Cru. It aged about ten years in the cellars and has a dosage of 6 grams per liter. 2008 had a cool spring and a cool, dry summer that kept the acidity high, and it was the vintage when La Grande Dame turned to Pinot Noir.

The house describes raspberry, strawberry, blood orange and grapefruit with rooibos and fine leather, then cherry, blackberry and dried flowers, with smoky hints and a long finish.

Next to the white La Grande Dame 2018, this has more structure and age; with lamb or duck, choose the rosé.

The house notes tannins that call for textured food and will soften over the coming years.
