This holiday season, Emmanuel Renaut celebrates
La Grande Dame 2015

For the festive season, five of our Garden Gastronomy Chefs have created original recipes for a unique gastronomic journey around our La Grande Dame 2015 cuvée.

Emmanuel Renaut, three-star Chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France, founded the Flocons de Sel restaurant in Megève in 1998. Inspired by the Alpine region, he draws on the richness of the Haute-Savoie landscape to create inventive cuisine that respects tradition. He guides his guests on a sensory journey, between raw nature and gustatory pleasure, for a deeply authentic experience.

"Inspirations come naturally. I like bitter flavors with tastes that evolve during the tasting. With the bitterness of the cardoon, there’s the tangy vinaigrette. It’s everything that pairs perfectly with La Grande Dame 2015, its delicacy, and the evolution of the cuvée."

The recipe

Plainpalais cardoon, mustard leaf and herb vinaigrette
La Grande Dame 2015

La Grande Dame 2015, an exceptionally sunny year for a wine full of energy and elegance, enhances the Pinot Noir grape variety, which accounts for 90% of the blend, in keeping with Madame Clicquot's vision: "Our black grapes make the finest white wines".  

This vintage cuvée highlights the strength and daring spirit of the woman who was nicknamed ‘the grande dame of Champagne’.


Garden Gastronomy

In 2021, inspiration from Madame Clicquot's audacious vision and quest for perfection gave birth to Garden Gastronomy, the gastronomic signature of our prestige cuvée La Grande Dame. This is a collaboration with Michelin-starred Chefs from around the world, who draw their inspiration from sustainable and responsible cuisine and create pairings around the cuvée.

A committed, plant-based and colourful cuisine, where vegetables, herbs and fruit take center stage, while meat, fish and eggs are cooked as condiments.
