The production of Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune in magnum

The Carte Jaune magnum perfectly illustrates Veuve Clicquot's art of blending. This non-vintage cuvée is based on a rigorous selection of 50 to 60 crus, offering a rich and complex aromatic palette. Pinot Noir, which accounts for 50 to 55% of the blend, brings structure and power. Chardonnay (28 to 33%) adds finesse and elegance, while Meunier (15 to 20%) brings a touch of roundness for perfect balance.

A significant proportion of reserve wines, up to 45%, is incorporated into the blend. These wines, sometimes aged for up to 30 years, bring depth and continuity to the distinctive style of Veuve Clicquot. The minimum aging period of 30 months in the cellar, well above the appellation standards, allows the champagne to develop remarkable complexity and maturity. With a balanced dosage of 9 g/L, this cuvée perfectly combines liveliness and structure, while retaining great freshness.

The advantages of the magnum

The magnum is often considered the ideal format for storing champagne. Thanks to a lower air-to-wine ratio, aging is slower, allowing complex aromas to develop while preserving freshness. The magnum is also perfect for celebrations, adding a festive touch to any occasion. A magnum serves approximately 12 flutes.
