It revolutionized sparkling wine production with vintage bottling in 1810 and invented the riddling table in 1816. “La Grande Dame,” launched in 1972, pays tribute to Madame Clicquot and showcases only Grand Cru grapes, selecting exceptional vintages to express both heritage and modern elegance.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe cuvée is overseen by Cellar Masters Dominique Demarville (2008 style evolution) and currently by the team led by Jean‑Marc Gallot, including Dominique Demarville, who shifted the blend toward predominantly Pinot Noir in 2008.
