The Making of Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune Champagne

The champagne Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune is a non-vintage cuvée that perfectly embodies the house's expertise. The dominance of Pinot Noir ensures the typical structure of the wines from the Reims house, while a slight touch of Pinot Meunier completes the roundness. Chardonnay gives it elegance and finesse, necessary for the perfect balance of a cuvée from an assembly of about 50 to 60 different crus. This cuvée thus relies on the marriage of 50 to 55% pinot noir, 28 to 33% chardonnay, and 15 to 20% meunier.

Up to 45% of reserve wines are integrated, some of which can reach up to 30 years of age, thus ensuring aromatic depth and continuity of the Veuve Clicquot style. These reserve wines are stored individually, respecting the origin of the crus and the years. The minimum aging is 30 months in the cellar, and the dosage is balanced at 9 g/L, thus offering an expressive, powerful, and fresh champagne.
