Potential of keeping
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.
