VEUVE CLICQUOT SAINT PETERSBOURG CHAMPAGNE 75 CL

This large reserve pays homage to the initiative of Madame Clicquot (widow Ponsardin) who, continuing to confirm her great intuition for business, faced the continental blockade that immobilized Europe at the time, managing in 1814 to send St. Petersburg its champagne. The success was so devastating that the Russian nobility began to consider it as the ne plus ultra of drinks. In the assembly, Pinot Noir predominates, which gives it its strong character, while Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, in smaller percentages, give it elegance and softness. Intense straw color with golden reflections, it has very fine bubbles that go up the glass. Smell that offers notes of ripe and dried fruit, brioche bread, crunchy almonds and sweet spices. Round palate, perfectly balanced between softness, acidity and flavor. Persistence on toasted returns. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes perfectly with shellfish and seafood dishes, stuffed pasta and vegetable quiches; to be tried also with soft cheeses and flowery rind.
