The making of the Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune in magnum

The magnum of Carte Jaune perfectly illustrates the art of blending according to Veuve Clicquot. This non-vintage cuvée is based on a rigorous selection of 50 to 60 crus, offering a rich and complex aromatic palette. The Pinot Noir, dominant at 50 to 55%, brings structure and power. The Chardonnay (28 to 33%) adds finesse and elegance, while the Meunier (15 to 20%) brings a touch of roundness for a perfect balance.

A significant portion of reserve wines, up to 45%, is integrated into the blend. These wines, sometimes preserved for up to 30 years, bring depth and continuity to the distinctive style of the house of Veuve Clicquot. The minimum aging of 30 months in the cellar, well beyond the appellation standards, allows the champagne to develop remarkable complexity and maturity. With a balanced dosage of 9 g/L, this cuvée perfectly combines vivacity and structure while maintaining great freshness.

The advantages of the magnum

The magnum is often considered the ideal format for the conservation of champagne. Thanks to a lower proportion of air relative to the volume of wine, aging is slower, thus favoring the development of complex aromas while preserving freshness. The magnum is also perfect for moments of celebration as it adds a festive dimension to every occasion. A magnum serves approximately 12 flutes.
