Champagnes are often made by blending different vintages and in this way the good houses try to produce consistent quality. If a vintage was very beautiful and becomes even more complex due to additional aging, it is called a vintage champagne and the champagne is also given a vintage. In this case this applies to the Veuve Clicquot Vintage Blanc from the year 2015.
The 2015 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Blanc is the successor to Vintage 2002, 2004 and 2008, 2012 and is therefore the fifth Vintage champagne from Veuve Clicquot in this decade. It has an blend of approximately 51% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier. For the first time since the 1960s, oak barrels have been used to mature a small part (5%) of the wine. The grapes in this champagne come from just 17 vineyards, all of which are Premier or Grand Cru classified. With a dosage of 8 grams per liter and years of maturation, this is a great champagne and is also packaged in a beautiful gift box. In the glass the wine has a clear, fresh color with a golden sheen. In the nose we smell aromas of citrus and roasted pear with hints of roasted nuts. On the palate, the Veuve Clicquot Vintage Blanc 2015 is subtle and mineral with a fruity, tight aftertaste. Delicious with dishes with fish, crustaceans and shellfish
