Champagne Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune
The Brut Carte Jaune reflects the style of the Veuve Clicquot house. The dominance of Pinot Noir ensures the typical structure of Maison de Reims wines, while a slight touch of Pinot Meunier completes the roundness. Chardonnay gives it the elegance and finesse necessary for the perfect balance of a cuvée resulting from a blend of around 50 to 60 different vintages.
The traditional structure of the Carte Jaune Brut cuvée is made up of 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier and 28 to 33% Chardonnay.
The blend includes a particularly high percentage of reserve wines from several harvests (5 to 6 on average): 25 to 35%, sometimes up to 40% to ensure the sustainability of the Veuve Clicquot style. These reserve wines, the oldest of which are up to nine years old, are kept individually, respecting the origin of the vintages and vintages.
