WINE MAKING PROCESS
Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2015 is produced using traditional Champagne methods. Grapes are fermented, with a portion of the Chardonnay potentially undergoing malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for an extended period, a minimum of 72 months on its lees in bottle, before disgorgement. This process is followed by a dosage of 6 g/L. The blend is meticulously crafted from grapes sourced from eight historical Grand Cru vineyards, with a strong emphasis on Pinot Noir.
