Veuve Clicquot Vintage Brut 2012 Champagne

Veuve Clicquot Vintage Brut 2012 Champagne

Vintage 2012 displays a bright yellow color with refined gold hints. The nose is fresh, delicate and saline. Then, a whole new universe unveils. Juicy, candied, or dried apricots set the tone. Enhanced with grilled, toasted notes, the nose evolves towards complex aromas of figs, dried fruits, honey, truffle and mocha, giving the wine its amplitude. On the other side, the wood brings soft spices of vanilla and nutmeg. On the palate, the attack is fresh and frank. Then appear the first aromas of fruits with Mirabelle tart, candied citrus and roasted pears notes. Finally, refreshing notes of green hazelnuts and almonds arise. The structure, signature of the vintage cuvée, is angular and complete, and the Pinot Noir plays its full role as the foundation. And so, with balance, the Vintage 2012 unveils a beautiful liveliness on the palate and refined pastry notes.

Pairs well with veal, crawfish, and smoked scallops.

Blend: 51% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier

Critical Acclaim

94 James Suckling

There’s a serious structure behind the considerable richness of this bold champagne. A wide range of dried-fruit aromas, but also some mint and sage freshness. Complex texture at the long, chalky finish. 12% of the cuvée is fermented in a barrel. 60% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay and 10% pinot Meunier, all from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. Drink or hold.

92 Wine Enthusiast

This 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.
