The Making of Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune Champagne

The Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune champagne is a non-vintage cuvée that perfectly embodies the house's expertise, with a unique skill in blending. This champagne is composed mainly of pinot noir (50 to 55%), a grape variety that brings structure and robustness to the wine. The chardonnay (28 to 33%) adds a touch of elegance and finesse, while the meunier (15 to 20%) adds a subtle roundness.

The winemaking relies on the blending of no less than 50 to 60 crus. A significant proportion of reserve wines (up to 45%) is integrated, providing aromatic depth and ensuring the continuity of the Veuve Clicquot style. These reserve wines, carefully preserved, come from vintages that can reach up to 30 years of age, giving the champagne remarkable intensity and complexity.

The aging takes place in the cellar for a minimum of 30 months to achieve optimal maturity. The dosage is perfectly balanced, at 9 g/L, thus offering a champagne that is both powerful, expressive, and fresh.
