La Grande Dame is a tribute to the inspiring Madame Clicquot. The 2008 is a blend of 92% Pinot Noir and 8% Chardonnay and is a fine balance of power and elegance. The nose is alive with fig, apricot, almond, hazelnut and pear aromas. The palate is pure and precise, hallmarked by the freshness, minerality and power of Pinot.
