Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Vintage 750ml

Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Vintage – Aged Elegance in Every Sip

Short History

While Veuve Clicquot is widely known for its non-vintage Yellow Label, the Brut Vintage release represents a rarer expression of the house’s mastery. First created in 1810, it was one of the world’s very first vintage Champagnes, crafted only in years with exceptional grape quality. This bottling continues that legacy — a showcase of what happens when nature, time, and tradition align.

Key Features

• Made only in exceptional harvest years — not released annually

• Composed of a precise blend: Pinot Noir (60–65%), Chardonnay (30–35%), and Meunier (5–8%)

• Aged for a minimum of 5–7 years in the chalk cellars of Reims

• Features reserve wines aged in large oak casks, adding unique character

• A structured, complex Champagne suited for cellaring or fine dining

• Bottled at 12% ABV, presented in Veuve Clicquot’s elegant vintage-style labeling

Tasting Notes

Veuve Clicquot Brut Vintage is richly layered with notes of baked apple, almond, lemon zest, and toasted brioche. The long maturation develops subtle aromas of hazelnut, dried apricot, spice, and smoky minerality. On the palate, it’s structured, creamy, and full-bodied, with a long, elegant finish that shows both freshness and aging potential.
