    Background Information:
    La Grande Dame Rosé 2015 is a tribute to Madame Clicquot's pioneering spirit.

    In 1818, she defied conventional practices by blending her red wine from her beloved 'Clos Colin' parcel with her white wine. Criticized at first, she is now acknowledged as the inventor of the first known blended rosé champagne.

    The oldest plots of Veuve Clicquot in Bouzy, acquired in 1741 and expanded by Madame Clicquot, are the 1.3 hectare Parcel 'Clos Colin' we know today. Recent climate and soil research studies have confirmed Madame Clicquot's intuition that this plot is made-to-measure for Pinot Noir red still wine.

    In terms of climate, it benefits from a "hot belt", offering intense light energy, which is necessary to push the ripening of the Pinot Noir

    The soil is different from the classic chalky soil of Champagne. With a clay-limestone soil, more sand and coarse elements, it leads to a draining effect and a hydric stress for the vine. The result is rich grapes, which concentrate the vine energy, for an optimal development of the tannins.

    For ageing rosé, the essential ingredient that guarantees both the colour stability and the texture evolution is the tannins from the grapes, especially the seeds. Macerated at least seven days, these tannins play an essential role in the ability of the champagne to age and become more complex over time.
