Madame Clicquot invented the Vintage Champagne back in 1810. The 2012 is the 66th vintage V***e Clicquot has declared. 🥂
A prodigious harvest pulled from an extremely challenging climate — and Pinot Noir runs the show at 51%, giving the wine the structure that’s so typically Clicquot, with Chardonnay for finesse and a little Meunier to round it out. The blend also folds in 13% still red wine, all Pinot Noir from Bouzy. 🍇
What makes the 2012 unusual is the foudres: 11% of the blend aged in large wooden casks, acting almost like spices to the rest — a lightly woody, vanilla, toasted edge worked into the fruit. Deep rose with copper hues, red fruit and wild strawberry, saffron, pastry and almond ✨
Vintage rosé or vintage blanc — which do you reach for? 🍾
