The Making of Veuve Clicquot Carte Jaune The Cooler

This cuvée does not refer to a specific vintage, allowing the brand's oenologists to maintain a unique and recognizable style year after year.
This champagne benefits from a maturation of over 30 months in the cellar, giving it a unique aromatic complexity.
