The Story
Details
Vintage Brut 2012 is Veuve Clicquotâs 66th vintage champagne release, and the expression of a prodigious harvest, despite an extremely challenging climate throughout the year.
With grapes exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus, Pinot Noir dominates the blend (51%) and provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, followed by Chardonnay (34%) that adds finesse and elegance essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and then Meunier (15%) that rounds out the blend.
The uniqueness of the Vintage 2012 lies in the addition of 11% of wines aged in large wooden casks, bringing strength and aromatic intensity. The cask-aged wines act as spices to the blend, bringing very lightly woody, vanilla and toasted aromas.
Pair With
A handpicked selection of our favourite signature pralines, a perfect gift for any chocolate lover.
