Vintage Brut 2012 The Vintage 2012 is the expression of a prodigious harvest, despite extremely adverse weather conditions. Label Veuve Clicquot Champagne Vintage Brut 2012
Despite the damage that led to a fairly modest harvest, the quality is optimal, with great ageing potential for the wines. Naturally, the 2012 vintage has been declared a Veuve Clicquot Vintage, becoming the House's 66th since its first vintage in 1810. The uniqueness of the Veuve Clicquot Vintage collection lies in the addition of wines aged in large oak barrels, which bring strength and aromatic intensity. The predominance of Pinot Noir and a touch of wood bring structure and character, the hallmark of the Veuve Clicquot style.
