The Making of Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2015 Champagne

The Vintage 2015 is the 67^th vintage of Veuve Clicquot, a tradition that began in 1810. This vintage is predominantly composed of 50% Pinot Noir, a grape variety that gives the champagne its structure and intensity. The blend also includes 30% Chardonnay, providing freshness and elegance, and 20% Meunier to round out the ensemble. This Vintage includes 10% of wines aged in oak barrels, adding a subtle touch of complexity.

The year 2015 was marked by a mild and humid winter, followed by a hot and dry summer, creating ideal conditions for obtaining concentrated and ripe grapes. The harvest took place under temperate conditions, preserving the acidity and freshness of the grapes. Prolonged aging on the lees and a dosage of 8 g/l give this champagne its unique character, faithful to the Veuve Clicquot style.
