The production of Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2015
The 2015 vintage proved to be an exceptional year for champagne lovers. The grapes benefited from a typically continental climate with a mild winter and a dry summer, resulting in optimal ripeness. This vintage marks Veuve Clicquot's 67th vintage declaration since 1810.
In this cuvée, Pinot Noir accounts for 50% of the blend, providing structure and power. Chardonnay, with its finesse, and Pinot Meunier complete the blend. A subtle touch of wines aged in oak casks (10%) gives this vintage delicate woody notes. Finally, prolonged aging on lees enhances this champagne by developing a unique aromatic complexity. The balanced dosage preserves the intensity while bringing beautiful harmony to the palate.
