It reflects the character of the range as well as the creativity of the House, confirming its unchanging passion for unique and innovative objects.
Since its creation in 2000, Veuve Clicquot ICONS Ice Box Brut Carte Jaune has adapted to all styles. Inspired by the meticulous technique of origami, the box transforms itself into a nomadic champagne bucket, ideal for impromptu tastings.
Beautiful colour with golden yellow reflections, abundant and fine foam.
On the nose
Powerful and pleasant nose, initially fruity (white fruits, dried fruits), then vanilla and brioche.
In the mouth
On the palate, the attack is frank and dynamic then gives way to a fruity harmony.
The Brut Carte Jaune is both a remarkable aperitif wine and a privileged partner to pair the all meal.
Serve between 10 et 12 °C.
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
With 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20% Meunier and 28 to 33% Chardonnay, the blend of Brut Carte Jaune is characteristic of the Veuve Clicquot style, marked by a predominance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay over Meunier. The proportion of reserve wines, which is variable between 25 and 35%, helps to maintain the style of the Champagne House.
Veuve Clicquot Champagne wines are aged longer than required by law. Thus, non-vintage vintages are kept in the cellar for at least 30 months and vintages for 5 to 10 years.
