The production of Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune champagne in magnum
Carte Jaune in magnum is one of the world's most famous cuvées. This non-vintage champagne embodies Veuve Clicquot's mastery of the art of blending. The cuvée is dominated by 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, which gives it its assertive structure and depth. Chardonnay (28 to 33%) adds finesse and elegance, while Meunier (15 to 20%) brings a touch of roundness and suppleness.
This cuvée is made from a blend of 50 to 60 carefully selected crus from the best terroirs in Champagne. The reserve wines, which can represent up to 45% of the blend, are sometimes kept for up to 30 years, ensuring continuity of style and exceptional aromatic depth.
The wine is aged in the cellar for at least 30 months, well beyond the appellation requirements, to achieve optimal complexity and maturity. The dosage, adjusted to 9 g/L, ensures a subtle balance between liveliness, structure, and freshness, allowing this cuvée to shine in all its aspects.
