Description
If you enjoy Veuve Clicquot champagne and are looking for a deeper understanding of just what sets it apart from any other, this excellent vintage is a good place to start. With a rare aromatic richness and complexity that's the result of prolonged time spent on lees and partial ageing in oak casks, it's the Maison's 67th vintage since 1810 – the year Madame Clicquot created the first vintage champagne.Presented in a beautiful gift box (crafted from 50% hemp and 50% recycled paper) with a brown wood pattern that's a nod to the oak casks the champagne has been partially aged in, it has an immense ageing potential of more than 15 years – making it a great gift, too.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, there are initial citrusy notes of orange, grapefruit and lemon zest followed by fruitier nuances of dried apricots, dates and marmalade. Next, buttery pastry aromas of biscuit, brioche and toast unfold, along with honey and roasted almonds and hazelnuts. On the palate Elegant, tense and mineral in the mouth, you can expect a complex, lively champagne with a pleasing and lasting finish.Product Details
