Veuve Clicquot’s La Grande Dame Rosé 2008 is a tribute to the bold vision of Madame Clicquot, capturing the essence of Pinot Noir with grace and finesse. This prestige cuvée is composed primarily of Pinot Noir (92%) sourced from the house’s historic Grand Cru vineyards, with a touch of Chardonnay (8%) and the addition of still red wine from Bouzy to create its radiant rosé hue.
The 2008 vintage delivers remarkable precision and elegance. On the nose, it opens with vibrant aromas of wild strawberries, dried rose petals, and hints of citrus peel. The palate is structured and refined, unfolding layers of red fruit, blood orange, and minerality, all balanced by a crisp acidity and a silky, persistent finish. Aged for over a decade in Veuve Clicquot’s cellars, this Rosé is both powerful and poised—a Champagne of true character and longevity.
Tasting Notes: Wild strawberry, dried rose, blood orange, citrus zest, mineral finish
Blend: 92% Pinot Noir, 8% Chardonnay, including red wine from Bouzy
Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2008 is a refined expression of a great vintage—vibrant, elegant, and made for moments of distinction.

Decanter –
A pink-copper-gold color with a smoky Burgundian nose of delicate red fruits. A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from six grand cru sites, with 14% Pinot Noir red wine from the Clos Colin vineyard, this is the Chambolle of Champagne. Great with duck.
Wine Advocate Robert Parker –
The 2008 Brut Rosé La Grande Dame is also showing well, wafting from the glass with notes of red berries, warm spices, toasted brioche and citrus rind. Full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it’s a vinous, muscular wine like its white sibling, with a lively spine of acidity and delicately phenolic back-end grip.
Wine Spectator –
There’s a racy tension here, with vivid acidity and an underlying streak of minerality, yet this is elegant overall, with a finely detailed mousse and well-meshed flavors of ripe raspberry, nectarine, Earl Grey tea and biscuit. Offers a long, chalk-tinged finish.
Wine & Spirits –
Tense and reductive, this wine needs air to show its floral pinot-noir scents of cherries and strawberries. The fruit is transparent and beautiful, both restricted and enriched by oak, lasting with briskness and freshness.
