Veuve Clicquot

Coffret Gouache | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

The Coffret Gouache Veuve Clicquot is a tribute to the art of blending practiced by Champagne cellar masters.

To create the Carte Jaune cuvée, Clicquot cellar master Dominique Demarville draws on a collection of over 400 reserve wines. A collection unique in Champagne! These reserve wines are the history of the house, with dozens of different vintages and terroirs. So many aromatic signatures which, when assembled, constitute the Veuve Clicquot style.

This Veuve Clicquot Gouache box is isothermal. It keeps the bottle cool for up to 2 hours.

The Brut Carte Jaune is dominated by Pinot Noir, which provides the structure typical of wines from the house in Reims. A hint of Pinot Meunier adds roundness, while Chardonnay lends elegance and finesse. Brut Carte Jaune is a blend of some 50 to 60 different crus. The traditional structure of the Cuvée Brut Carte Jaune is made up of 50-55% Pinot Noir, 15-20% Pinot Meunier and 28-33% Chardonnay.

The blend includes a particularly high percentage of reserve wines from several harvests (5 to 6 on average): from 25 to 35%, sometimes up to 40% to ensure the longevity of the Veuve Clicquot style. These reserve wines, the oldest of which are up to nine years old, are kept individually, respecting the origin of the vintages and years. Carte Jaune Veuve Clicquot has a beautiful golden-yellow color and an abundant, fine mousse.

This Brut has a powerful nose, initially fruity (white fruit, dried fruit), then vanilla and brioche.

On the palate, the attack is frank and dynamic, then gives way to a fruity harmony. The wine has a certain structure, which places it in the family of structured, vinous Bruts.

Carte Jaune Veuve Clicquot stands out for its remarkable aromatic persistence, with notes of both fruit and spice.

This Champagne offers an optimal balance between finesse and power.
