The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Among the greatest Champagne houses, Veuve Clicquot is known for its bold, wine-like style. It’s one of the most prestigious and sought-after names in the region, with each of its blends showcasing a unique and unmatched character.

With an exceptional vineyard made up of premier and grand cru sites, along with state-of-the-art production that now includes barrel and large cask aging, Veuve Clicquot is most famous for its Carte Jaune cuvée—the best-selling champagne in the United States.
Wine The Carte Jaune Brut Champagne is a wine of great depth—rich and intense, with Pinot Noir taking center stage. A touch of brioche and subtle toasty notes from the reserve wines and a small portion aged in large casks add complexity. This iconic cuvée from Champagne has a distinct, wine-like character, perfectly balanced by vibrant freshness. It offers both energy and maturity, embodying everything that makes a great, universally loved Champagne.
Vinification Hand harvested, traditional Champagne vinification. Made from Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (30%°) and Pinot Meunier (20%). Blend of Reserve wines: 30 to 45%, produced from grapes from 50 to 60 different crus. Aged on laths for a minimum of 3 years in the chalk cellars.
Dosage: 9g/l.
