About this wine
Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune is a dry, classic non-vintage Champagne with lively mousse and high, refreshing acidity. It is usually broad and balanced, combining citrus, apple and stone-fruit notes with subtle brioche; the precise blend may vary from release to release. While Chardonnay is important in Champagne, Carte Jaune is normally a blend led by Pinot Noir, supported by Chardonnay and Meunier.
