The dominance of Pinot Noir gives this wine the strong structure
typical of the House wines, while a slight touch of Pinot Meunier
adds roundness. Chardonnay gives Brut Carte Jaune the elegance and
finesse it needs for perfect balance. It is assembled from about
fifty crus and reserve wines which give it the inimitable Clicquot
style. The use of reserve wines which have been stocked year by year
is one of the secrets of the Carte Jaune elaboration, very appreciated
by wine connoisseurs.
This is an excellent aperitif wine because of its
finesse, freshness and length. Full-bodied, it goes well with
freshwater fish and delicate sea fish.
