A fruity and harmonious Veuve Clicquot Champagne
The Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune is from Champagne and is a blend of 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 28 to 33% Chardonnay and 15 to 20% of Pinot Meunier. It is a true reflection of the typical know-how of the House.
Veuve Clicquot’s Brut Carte Jaune reveals a lovely colour with golden highlights with an extremely fine effervescence. The powerful nose first reveals white and dried fruit aromas before offering vanilla and brioche scents. Veuve Clicquot’s Brut Carte Jaune offers a frank and dynamic attack that is harmonious and superbly fruity.

In 1772, Philippe Clicquot founded a wine-making business under the name Clicquot. In 1798, his son François, who had taken over the family enterprise, married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin. At the time of François’ death in 1805, the young 27-year-old widow decided to continue her husband’s legacy. A woman of vision, she became the driving force behind the prestige and success of the brand, which in 1810 was renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.
Ever in pursuit of excellence and innovation, in 1816 Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table with the aim of obtaining clarified Champagnes of unrivalled quality. She became known by her contemporaries as the “Grande Dame of Champagne”, in recognition of her audacity and determination. Row by row, Madame Clicquot used her skills to develop an exceptional wine-growing territory, consisting of 515 hectares in the heart of the Champagne region’s finest vineyard estates.
The entry level Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors – forcefulness and finesse – and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.
