Wine Description
About the Cellar Box
True to its innovative spirit, Veuve Clicquot commissioned Pablo Reinoso, a creator acclaimed by architects for his city lights and interior designers for his contemporary furnishings, to develop the appropriate vessel to encase the Rare Vintages. The result is Reinoso's high-tech Cellar Box, a case that embodies modern design while preserving the Rare Vintage wines in the best possible conditions; reusable and stackable.
This Vintage is made up from twenty villages all classified as Premiers or Grands Crus. They are located in the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims regions. The dominance and power comes from the Pinot Noir, which represents 68% of the blend. The finesse and elegance are achieved from a complement of 32% Chardonnay.
Sensory notes
The effervescence is both delicate and long lasting. The bouquet is fine and complex, strong in the aromas of dried fruits and flowers. There is an elegant harmony in the nose around toast and brioche notes. In the mouth, the wine is firm and well structured, with masses of substance and refinement. Such wine accompanies perfectly lobsters, scallops and sea fish. After a few more years of aging, one would not hesitate to offer it with poultry or with meat dishes such as veal.
