Veuve Clicquot - Vintage

The modern-day Maison of Veuve Clicquot possesses one of the finest champagne vineyards, both in terms of its size and the quality of its vines. Its 390 hectares are divided between 12 of the 17 Grands Crus, and between 20 of the 44 Premiers Crus that constitute the entire Champagne region. This exceptional heritage was built up over the centuries, founded upon the parcels first established by the founder, and added to by subsequent vineyard directors. Veuve Clicquot bears the fortuitous territorial mark of Madame Clicquot. Medium yellow to pale straw colour with a fine persistent bead. The aromas are yeasty with touches of citrus & candied peel. On the palate yeasty notes & candied peel add a slight honeyed note. The finish is crisp and of fair length, combining mouth-watering crispness & honeyed richness.
