It is a golden yellow with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Pleasing to the nose, initially reminiscent of white fruits, then of vanilla, and later of brioche. It has a balance between the fruit aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toast aromas following the aging in the bottle. It manages to reconcile forcefulness and finesse, and to hold...
The predominance of Pinot Noir (50%), the touch of 10% of wines produced in oak casks and the prolonged aging on the lees give the power and aromatic richness so typical of Veuve Clicquot Vintage style. Chardonnay (30%) brings the elegance and finesse of a perfectly balanced wine, while a small percentage of Pinot Meunier (20%) rounds out the blend.
A deliciously fruity wine in early bloom. Initial aromas of fresh red fruit leading to biscuity notes of dried fruits and Viennese pastries (almonds, apricots and brioche). The wine is perfected balanced in the best Veuve Clicquot style of rosé champagnes, combining elegance and flair. A delectably full champagne that can be enjoyed as a true...
Clean, fresh floral bouquet with a hint of hazelnut leading to a delicate yet refreshing citrus palate and a long balanced and rounded finish.
Alexandre Thienpont has made another spectacular Vieux Château Certan in 2016. This has a deep, ruby hue with a nose of black fruit and cherries. The palate is extremely voluptuous with a succulent texture, silky tannins and a long finish. The high percentage of Merlot adds notes of chocolate, liquorice and tar.
Inky blue and purplish fruit, chocolate, licorice, lavender, spice and mint come together in a dense, dark and powerful Pomerol. The 2017 is an explosive, vivid wine of monastic beauty. In this vintage, VCC is especially dark and somber, which adds to a real feeling of mysterious beauty. It is a towering achievement from Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont.
Liquid violets, cassis, blueberries, and beautiful floral notes all emerge from the 2018, which is deep, profound, and layered on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins. Full-bodied, with thrilling purity, it builds on the palate, with beautiful tannins, and notable freshness. It's showing its Cabernet Franc component today, with beautiful purity, elegance,...
The 2019 Vieux Château Certan is a heady, rich wine that captures all of the exoticism of the year. Crème de cassis, graphite, crushed rocks, lavender and spice are some of the many aromas and flavors that run through the 2019. This is an especially ripe, unctuous style for VCC. It will be interesting to see what aging brings, as there is...
The 2020 Vieux Château Saint André delivers aromas of graphite, liquorice and dark berries with an elegant earthy note. A bit firm and austere, the wine is medium to full-bodied on the palate with both structuring and powdery tannins as well as controlled power
Pale gold colour. Delicate fragrances of fern mixed with citrus fruit on a hint of minerality. Well-balanced and precise. Tense with a very pure fruit combination. Refreshing finish with lemon tinges.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir this is a Light style, fruity red wine Bright ruby in colour, on the nose it has Red berries (raspberry and cherry), violet and small hint of cinnamon. On the palate you will find a Sweet and fruity attack, aromatic persistence and long finish.
The 2020 Volnay Village has a refined, quite intense cassis and black cherry nose, quite high toned but managing to retain its delineation. The palate is quite intense but pure with blood orange infused red fruit, gentle grip towards the slightly brittle finish, quite spicy on the aftertaste.
