An elegant style with generous freshness from the Pinot Noir which lends body to a very lively wine. On the palate there's layers of floral and fruity complexity that flows into a remarkably long and powerful finish.
Veuve Clicquot has been producing fine quality Champagne since it was founded in 1772. In 1810, Madame Clicquot broke new ground by creating the first vintage Champagne, made of grapes from one single harvest. Veuve's non vintage is consistently rated in the top handful of NV Champagnes and delivers a powerful bubbly with a rich mouthfeel.
94 Point Rated - James Halliday The Weekend Australian
"Like Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot is also owned by LVMH, but no-one would suggest this has led to any confusion between what are radically different styles. Most obviously, a few extra years of bottle-age for the Veuve allows the wine to add nuances of toast or biscuit. This bottle is halfway, so it seems, with lots of citrus and stone fruit, backed by good acidity, and a hint of toast."

92 Point Rated Huon Hooke
"Light, bright yellow colour. Subdued bouquet with a nice toasty bread character, the palate light and lean-ish, with a clean dry finish and aftertaste. Some nice complexity, and fresh acidity to finish. A very enjoyable wine."
90 Point Rated The Wine Front
"Perfume is actually very attractive, very complex, you can see the detail, mix of floral, nuttiness, brioche complex, gently sweet but shifting into savoury with a squeeze of citrus through too. Light and creamy in texture, but with enough pep and freshness to encourage drinking. Sweetness is here, builds with a gently cloy, but it fits with briskness of fizz, smoothness of bead and drinkability. Finishes with a briny freshness. Easy going."
