The "biggest" Champagne from Veuve Clicquot, appreciated for its robust structure and outstanding aging potential. Veuve Clicquot's esteemed vintage Champagne is balanced and full-bodied. Produced in small quantities in exceptional years, it reflects the best characteristics of the vintage as well as the quality of Veuve Clicquot's top-rated vineyards.
The color is a deep gold, with hints of green hues. The sparkle is lively and persistent. The nose is expressive and complex. The first impressions are of citrus, yellow fruit (peach, apricot, mirabelle plum) together with subtle dry fruit aromas (hazelnut, almond) and spices (cinnamon, vanilla, honey). In the mouth it is very full and well structured. And for its age, it is still dominated by freshness, truly representative of the 1996 vintage. The wine shows wonderful richness and intensity, and a remarkable balance that should age well
