NV Veuve Clicquot - Champagne Brut

he world's most recognized Champagne — and one of the most storied and beloved houses in the entire region. Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot owes its legendary name and legacy to Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin — "The Widow Clicquot" — who took over the House at just 27 years old and went on to invent the riddling table, produce the first vintage Champagne, and create the first rosé Champagne by assemblage — three innovations that transformed the entire industry and are still practiced worldwide today. The iconic yellow label has been a symbol of celebration, luxury, and joie de vivre ever since.  

A blend of 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier, with up to 45% reserve wines drawn from Veuve Clicquot's extraordinary collection of 400 wines aged up to 30 years — one of the most diverse and complex reserve libraries in all of Champagne. Soft and overt on the nose with fragrant floral and complexing pastry tones, a peachy fruit profile with the red fruit presence of Pinot Noir dominance and a spicy nuance from the generous amounts of reserve wines — mouthfilling and round on the palate with comforting easiness and real complexity. Brilliant golden yellow in color with a fine, persistent effervescence — notes of white and yellow fruits like pear, apple, and peach give way to vanilla and brioche, with a fine balance between fruity aromas and toasty notes from three years of bottle aging. The ultimate celebration Champagne — universally loved for very good reason.
