2004 Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin La Grande Dame Brut (Champagne, France)
Champagne $254.99 (750mL)

Named after Madame Clicquot, the most famous and influential lady in Champagne history, the 1998 La Grande Dame is based on a blend of eight Grands Crus traditionally used for this wine. The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir grapes (62.5%) which come from Ay in the Vallée de la Marne, as well as from Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay, and Bouzy in the Montage de Reims. The Chardonnay grapes (37.5%) come from vineyard plots in Avize, Oger, and Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs.

Very elegant, this is all in the details, offering precise and silky texture, mouthwatering acidity and a smoky, mineral undertow that enriches flavors of patisserie pear, crystallized honey, kumquat and toasted almond. Offers a clean, citrus-tinged finish. Drink now through 2027.
