Produced only in exceptional years, Veuve Clicquot Vintage Brut 2015 is a masterful expression of the House's bold, Pinot Noir-driven style. This distinguished vintage Champagne is made from grapes harvested during a year of contrasting weather in Champagne - a warm, dry summer following a cool spring, resulting in grapes of excellent ripeness and structure. Aged for a minimum of five years in the cellars, this 2015 release offers a balance of power, finesse, and ageing potential that makes it both ideal for cellaring or a great choice for drinking now.
Presented in an elegant Veuve Clicquot gift box, this bottle is a vintage choice for celebrations, gifts, or refined indulgence.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A radiant golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse - elegant and inviting from the first pour.
Nose:
The bouquet opens with complex aromas of candied citrus, ripe orchard fruits, and dried apricot, underpinned by hints of toasted brioche, vanilla, and hazelnut. Subtle smoky and mineral notes nod to its cellar ageing and chalky terroir.
Palate:
Structured and vibrant, with a commanding presence of Pinot Noir (over 50% of the blend), balanced by Chardonnay’s elegance and Meunier’s roundness. Flavours of baked apple, citrus peel, almond, and delicate spice unfurl on the palate, leading to a creamy texture and impressive depth.
Finish:
Long, dry, and sophisticated, with toasty notes and a refined mineral freshness that lingers gracefully.
