The making of the Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune champagne in magnum

The Carte Jaune in magnum is one of the most famous cuvées in the world. This non-vintage champagne embodies the mastery of the art of blending at Veuve Clicquot. The cuvée is dominated by 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, which gives it its assertive structure and depth. The Chardonnay (28 to 33%) adds finesse and elegance, while the Meunier (15 to 20%) brings a touch of roundness and suppleness.

This cuvée is made from the blending of 50 to 60 crus carefully selected from the best terroirs of Champagne. The reserve wines, which can represent up to 45% of the blend, are sometimes kept for up to 30 years, ensuring exceptional aromatic depth and continuity of style.

Aging in the cellar lasts a minimum of 30 months, well beyond the requirements of the appellation, to achieve optimal complexity and maturity. The dosage, adjusted to 9 g/L, ensures a subtle balance between vivacity, structure, and freshness, allowing this cuvée to shine in all its aspects.
