"Bright, deep champagne hue. Very delicate, even and restrained bubbles. The bouquet reveals impressive intensity and depth: the high proportion of Meunier, combined with Pinot noir, brings notes of sun-ripened yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) and orchard fruits (William pear). The Chardonnay is equally impressive, adding lovely warm notes of pollen and soft white flowers with a hint of vanilla. With aeration, the autolysis comes through as chocolatey, lightly roasted spices reminiscent of baked apples. The palate is fleshy with a lively freshness. The juicy fruit brings a caressing, creamy volume but without any heaviness. It is pure indulgence - a truly delicious sensation like biting into perfectly ripe, freshly-picked fruit.The soft bubbles are essential here, providing a creamy lightness while channelling the energy of a very subtle touch of tannin and bitterness. The long, drawn-out finish is soft and concentrated, revealing chalky, saline and mouthwatering overtones." —winemaker

"This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes." —winemaker

"It is composed of Chardonnay for elegance and delicacy, Pinot Noir for roundness and structure and Pinot Meunier for fruitiness. Pale gold in color, abundance of delicate bubbles. Floral aromas of fruit with subtle predominance of white fruits: pear, apple, almonds and hazelnuts. Fresh opening, smooth, pleasant and balanced." —winemaker

"Clicquot's signature non-vintage Brut is loved all over the world for its crisp, full flavors, consistent quality and celebratory yellow label. This classical dry Champagne is a blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, balanced with one-third Chardonnay for elegance. It has a fine persistent sparkle and golden Champagne color." —winemaker
