La Grande Dame 2018 is the 25th vintage since its first release in 1972.
In 2018, under unique conditions unlike previous years, grapes of remarkable quality were harvested.
Following a long, hot summer with strong sunshine, a particularly rainy winter yielded an abundant harvest of exceptional grapes. The result is a wine of outstanding quality, boasting a perfect balance of freshness, richness, and aromatic complexity.
In this vintage, Pinot Noir from the northern vineyards of Montagne de Reims brings structure, strength, and vitality, while Pinot Noir from the southern vineyards imparts texture, depth, and smoothness, creating a cuvée that expands both vertically and horizontally on the palate.
La Grande Dame, which elevates Pinot Noir to an art form, is created only in years when grapes of extraordinary quality are produced.
