Veuve Clicquot, Vintage Reserve, brut, white 0.75L

Exceptionally good weather conditions in September allow the grape harvest to be abundant. We harvested some very fine grapes in excellent conditions of health. The pinot noir wines are fruity and full-bodied; the chardormay wines show a lot of distinction and the pinots meunier wines add a touch of gourmandise. Sourced from twenty vineyards, all grand and premier cru, this is a stunningly good wine. With the classic veuve pinot muscularity redolent of red fruit and creme brulee, the wine is immediately seductive but has harmonious balance and a pleasing freshness on the finish.

•The wine has a luminous, brilliant gold colour

•The vintage 2004 has a generous freshness; the pinot noir intensifies its role, lending body to a tense, very lively wine

•The initial bouquet is elegant, opening on to aromas of crunchy fresh fruit (bush peach) and citrus fruit
