Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Vintage Brut Champagne 2004 75cl is where in 1810 Madame Clicquot broke new ground by creating the first known Vintage Champagne, awine composed from a single, exceptional harvest. The 2004 Vintage has a pale gold colour with silver accents and is made up of 60% Pinot Noir, 7% Pinot Meunier and 33% Chardonnay. The blend includes 17 crus only, which are either Grand or Premier Crus. The Chardonnay gives this wine a refined mineral flavour accompanied with pleasant flowery notes of acacia, hints of yellow-fleshed fruit and pastries (brioche, marzipan), giving way to delicately spicy aromas.
