Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rose Brut 2006
An Iconic Vintage Champagne
Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rose Brut 2006 is a remarkable expression of elegance and complexity. This prestigious cuvée combines eight classic Grands Crus for a blend of 53% Pinot Noir and 47% Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir grapes come from Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy, and Verzenay, adding depth and structure. Chardonnay from Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger brings freshness and finesse. Together, they create a champagne of exceptional balance and refinement.
The Story of the 2006 Harvest
The 2006 vintage began with a cold, long winter and a mixed spring. Budding conditions were favorable, and the flowers bloomed during an unusually hot June. Despite a challenging summer with autumn-like August weather, the vines delivered an abundant crop of superb quality. Harvest took place between September 14 and 29, producing grapes of outstanding character. Careful sorting ensured only the finest fruit made it into this exclusive cuvée.
