Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Vintage – Aged Elegance in Every Sip
Short History
While Veuve Clicquot is widely known for its non-vintage Yellow Label, the Brut Vintage release represents a rarer expression of the house’s mastery. First created in 1810, it was one of the world’s very first vintage Champagnes, crafted only in years with exceptional grape quality. This bottling continues that legacy — a showcase of what happens when nature, time, and tradition align.

Tasting Notes
Veuve Clicquot Brut Vintage is richly layered with notes of baked apple, almond, lemon zest, and toasted brioche. The long maturation develops subtle aromas of hazelnut, dried apricot, spice, and smoky minerality. On the palate, it’s structured, creamy, and full-bodied, with a long, elegant finish that shows both freshness and aging potential.
