Veuve Cliquot
One of the leading and most audacious prestige champagne houses in the world.
“Only one quality - the finest”
Champagne is undoubtedly a wine of enduring legend and the entire history of Veuve Clicquot is marked by a series of mythical wines, all of which respect the demand for quality that was the force behind Madame Clicquot.
is a belief that the House has followed throughout the unusually short lineage of just ten Cellar Masters. It is a tradition that has ensured the continuity of the Veuve Clicquot style of strength and complexity.
Beginning with the Bouzy vineyards that originally belonged to founder Philippe Clicquot, subsequent generations – and most in particular Madame Clicquot – gradually built up the Veuve Clicquot property through determination, intuition and acumen to make it one of the foremost vineyards in all of Champagne.
The impression here is elegant overall, but there’s a rm backbone of acidity that’s nely meshed
with the delicate range of avours, including white raspberry, spiced plum, biscuit, pink grape uit zest and a base note of smoky minerality.
90 Points The Wine Spectator.
Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label
The strength of this golden-yellow wine is immediately pleasing on the nose while its complexity explodes on the palate. The initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla, particularly when the wine is allowed to age.
Veuve Clicquot Rosé
Radiant colour to the eye, its nose is intense and elegant. Notes of raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry predominate, but are followed by a touch of dried fruits and pastry. Elegant and sensual, this wine offers exceptional balance and surprising intensity.
Vintage Vintage Rosé
Cave Privée
This toasty, superbly mature wine is a part of a series of releases featuring the house’s cellar-matured Champagnes [1990 vintage]. Emerges from the glass with complex flavours of almond, brioche, citrus and a hint of steeliness. The majestic richness of the wine has fully justified its decades of aging.
