Description
Brut Champagne made using the classic method, produced by Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin in the Champagne region of France. A wine that celebrates the tradition and excellence of the house. The nose reveals fruity aromas at first glance: in an intense and complex blend, notes of ripe fruit, dried fruit, brioche, and spices elegantly emerge. A delicate floral touch (dried flowers) completes this perfectly harmonious profile. The color is intense with distinct golden highlights. On the palate, the prolonged maturation enhances the roundness and aromatic intensity. The toasted notes (toasted bread, pralines) are clearly evident, with some warmer nuances such as gingerbread or honey. The balance between structure and freshness is perfect.

On the label you can find the anchor, the comet and yellow label and this is the story behind the symbols of the house Veuve Clicquot. The anchor, the Christian symbol for hope and rigour, was chosen in 1798 by Philippe Clicquot, the founder of the House, as the cork brand, the only distinguishing mark in the era before labels. As a symbol of hope, the anchor was a perfect emblem for a young entrepreneur with faith in the prosperity of his newly founded business. Madame Clicquot continued to use the same cork brand when she took over the running of the House in 1805. In keeping the anchor emblem throughout the centuries, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin remains faithful to the signs and symbols of its roots. The comet: in what many took as a sign predicting an excellent harvest year, a comet shot across the Champagne sky in 1811. Madame Clicquot used grapes from this "comet harvest" to make the exceptional Vins de la Comète, which would forge the House’s reputation for excellence throughout the world. Much like a lucky star, the symbol of the comet has remained to watch over the destiny of the House of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin
The yellow label: between 1860 and 1870, the House entered a new era in systematizing the practice of dressing bottles. In 1873, a vintage wine receives a "special dressing": a yellow label. In 1876, the vintage Dry British market is too yellow ... the yellow is the mark of special vintages of dry wine (or dry) for the Anglo-Saxon market. The fold is taken, agents and customers requiring this distinctive original. The yellow label "V. Clicquot P. Werle is filed by Edouard Werle February 12, 1877. The dark color will gradually so that the difference between the two types of wine, Dry or raw, or more easily perceived by leaders in the dark cellar. By 1945, won the yellow labels on the pulse of crude Bertrand de Mun ... and remains a leading brand immediate recognition of bottles of the house!
The House's motto is : "Only one quality, the finest". A short lineage of just 10 Cellar Masters has led this quest for quality, thereby ensuring the continuity of the Veuve Clicquot style: strength and complexity. Read more
