    Veuve Clicquot's vineyards stretch across the prestigious terroirs of Champagne, where the chalky, limestone soil imparts a unique minerality to the grapes. The temperate climate, with sunny summers and cold winters, promotes optimal ripening of the grape varieties. The meticulously tended vines are planted on hillsides, maximizing sun exposure. Each plot reflects the identity and diversity of the Champagne terroir, allowing for the creation of cuvées of exceptional quality.

    Today, Veuve Clicquot belongs to the LVMH group, which perpetuates the legacy of this Champagne institution. The current owners are committed to preserving tradition while innovating in production methods.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for La Grande Dame 2012 follows traditional methods, with meticulous attention paid to each stage. The carefully selected grapes undergo initial fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness.

The dosage is adjusted to respect the wine's natural balance, resulting in a harmonious tasting experience.
