Comment

Crafted each year from a priceless collection of reserve wines, the signature Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune champagne is the expression of the style and quality of the House of Veuve Clicquot. The yellow label which distinguishes it from other champagnes reflects its luminous personality as well as the excellence of the House's winegrowers. Long aging in chalk pits (3 years minimum) gives this champagne all its silkiness.

Tasting

Yellow gold color, fine bubbles. Fruity aromas (peach, mirabelle plum, pear), vanilla, brioche. Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune manages to combine strength and silkiness and to match them wonderfully with aromatic intensity and intense freshness. This constant ability to seduce makes it an ideal aperitif, but also a perfect champagne to accompany a meal.
