Product Description
Veuve-Clicquot’s 2015 Vintage, the 67th release since 1810, captivates with its depth and refined structure. The exceptional year boasted limited rainfall and abundant sunshine, enhancing the wine’s quality. Dominated by Pinot Noir and extended lees aging, it offers a rich aromatic profile. Citrus aromas of orange zest and lemon intertwine with fruity highlights on the nose. The palate reveals a sophisticated blend of cookie, brioche, dried fruit, toasted almond, hazelnut, honey, and fig nuances. Ideal alongside sesame-smoked white tuna tataki or a sheep’s milk tomme with a delicate rind

Wine & SpiritsThis focuses on red fruit (51 percent pinot noir, 15 percent meunier), with chardonnay providing the balance, all of it from premier or grand cru sites. A portion of the blend (11 percent) was aged in foudres, adding power to the wine’s structure without diminishing its scent of spring flowers, a sunny, floral note that contrasts the wine’s chalk cloud of minerality and its rich depths of flavor. A great vintage from Clicquot, this is fresh, grand and giving.

Wine EnthusiastThis is a vintage very much in the producer’s style. It is soft, with a dosage that gives baked-apple flavors as well as acidity. Both need to come together in this young wine. Its dosage will allow it to age well into a toasty old age.
