Magnum · 1.5 lVintage 2012
The Vintage 2012 from Veuve Clicquot comes exclusively from grands crus and premiers crus. Pinot Noir leads with 51 per cent and provides the backbone, 34 per cent Chardonnay brings finesse, and 15 per cent Meunier rounds it off. 11 per cent of the wines aged in oak, which gives the champagne extra intensity and power.
The opening is fresh and lively. In the glass you find candied lemon, roasted pear and hazelnut, carried by a distinct, powerful structure. This vintage belongs at the table: veal, crayfish or scallops suit its richness and freshness. Pour it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass or a Burgundy glass so the toasty aromas can open up. The ageing potential is high, and those with patience will be rewarded with even more depth in a few years.
