Bouteille · 0.75 lVintage 2012
The Vintage 2012 from Veuve Clicquot comes exclusively from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus. Pinot Noir leads at 51 per cent and provides the backbone, 34 per cent Chardonnay brings finesse, and 15 per cent Meunier rounds things off. 11 per cent of the wines matured 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 clear, powerful structure. This vintage belongs at the table: veal, crayfish or scallops all match its fullness and freshness. Serve 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 anyone with patience will be rewarded in a few years with even more depth.
