Description
In its reception attire, the Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune in Mathusalem format celebrates the art of large tables and the joy of moments that matter. An icon of the House, this non-vintage cuvée embodies an immediately recognisable style, driven by frank energy, controlled freshness and a velvety texture that caresses the palate.

Presented in a wooden case, this Champagne AOP combines character and precision, in an expression where the generosity of the bubbles meets aromatic clarity. You will find the red thread of a great signature: that fruit clarity and delicate depth that make it a timeless reference, companion to celebrations and messenger of a certain French art de vivre.
Blend and winemaking
The Brut Carte Jaune is the manifesto of the House's style, built around a blend dominated by Pinot Noir for structure and breadth, supported by Chardonnay for tension and purity, and completed by Pinot Meunier for fruity suppleness. The balance relies on a significant proportion of reserve wines, generally between 30 and 40%, which brings complexity and consistency from one disgorgement to the next. The wine is produced as a white, as a non-vintage brut, with an alcohol level of 12%, according to a conventional farming approach. Patient ageing on the lees in the cellar ensures integration of the components, refinement of the effervescence and aromatic harmony. Each variety finds its place: the Pinot Noir framework supports the mid-palate, the verticality of the Chardonnay brightens the finish, the roundness of the Meunier ties it all together. In Mathusalem format, evolution becomes particularly nuanced, with a slower breath that enhances texture and depth without altering the signature freshness.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: Bright pale gold animated by a fine, regular effervescence, announcing a lively and silky palate.
- Nose: Initial notes of stone fruits and zesty citrus, followed by brioche, almond and a delicate floral touch. A chalky breath brings definition and clarity.
- Palate: Tonic attack then an enveloping texture, carried by the structure of Pinot Noir and the radiance of Chardonnay. The finish, straight and persistent, retains a salivating drive that invites the next sip.
Serving temperature and tips
Serve between 8 and 10°C in tulip glasses or flutes with a wide enough opening to let the bouquet unfold. For the Mathusalem format, ensure slow and even chilling. Open gently, then let the wine breathe in the glass for a few moments. Store the bottle away from light, lying down, in a cool, steady cellar to preserve its vitality and aromatic relief. This large format, prized for the finesse of its evolution, suits both the spontaneity of an aperitif and the rhythm of a full meal.
Food pairings
- Aperitifs: fine oysters, white fish sashimi, airy gougères, tartlets with candied citrus.
- Starters: scallop carpaccio, sea bream tartare, crisp vegetable textures, delicate ceviche.
- Main courses: roasted poultry with pearled jus, asparagus risotto, lightly seared noble fish, gently cooked veal.
