Veuve Clicquot Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut, France, Champagne

Off-dry, creamy mousse, flavors of green apple, pear, vanilla, and brioche

Not at all what I was expecting. Deep golden color. Candied nuts, cooked apple, cinnamon bun, brioche. Mousse felt a little tired. Quite oxidative. Maybe this was sitting on a shelf at the store for a while--the bottle does not seem to indicate when it was disgorged or bottled. In any case it was surprisingly complex and enjoyable! Good pair for thai steak salad.

The Santa’s Village of champagne. It had been about four years since we last visited this old friend. And at first glance? Still beautiful. A golden hue in the glass, lively bubbles rising with confidence…everything exactly as you remember it. The nose delivers cooked apples, brioche, and lemon zest, with a creamy, approachable finish that feels polished and familiar. And yet…. Meh. This Champagne is the Santas Village of adulthood. (West Dundee, IL for those of you unfamiliar) As a …

Haskell's Spring Tasting (Lots of low ratings including Veuve Clicquot) (Bloomington, MN) : The new NV is terrible. Chalk, chalk and more chalk dominate this. Light on the fruit and some floral notes. I can't believe this costs $60.

Iso, rohkea, kaunis. Voimakkaat ja selvät suunnat makukartalla. Ei kaikkein monimutkaisin, mutta kiistämättä ilmaisuvoimainen. Kaikkihan veuven tuntevat.

My dependable go to champagne. Never disappoints and never surprises

I’ve not had much champagne at this point, but I did find this one very enjoyable. I did notice the bubbles dissipating considerably as I sipped the glass. Crisp, then creamy (my favorite), then basically still. This occurred over maybe 20 minutes.

Always the dependable NV and just works when nothing mega is required. 89-90

Standard Vueve. Crowd pleaser when not compared to others.

Nice

This is a good wine but lacks any defining characteristics- Gruet or Cheap Prosecco would be just as good.

Super well aged bottle. Aged decently well, not too complex though.

Pale straw with a gentle perlage. Bready aromas with a hint of wood, toasted almonds, lemon and green apple which all follows through on the palate. Decent but the Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs 2017 tasted alongside it was much better and they're the same price, c£42.

Totally oxygenated, practically undrinkable, can perhaps be used as a basis for risotto

Brioche, balanced, rounder rather than tart.

Consistently our favorite Champagne, balances toast and yeast on the nose with full-bodied but crisp flavors. Ric

Pale gold color. Drank a glass plis with family. Bread dough, baking spice, orchard fruit on the nose. Very tart apple, astringent, lemon bitters, chalk on the palate. Solid. 90+pts.

Served cold. Enjoyed with goat cheese appetizer. Excellent wine.

Greenish yellow in the glass with light bubbles Nose is intense with aromas of green apple, sour apple, brioche, and yeast Palate is dry and medium bodied with high acid and a racy finish. Carbonation is present and powerful with green apple, brioche and yeast featuring prominently. Medium finish with lingering brioche and sour apple

Rating: 4,0/5,0

Not the champagne I had in mind for tonight, but sometimes circumstances play their part. This is pleasant enough. It will go well with my almond tart later. The mouthfeel shows nice mousse, somewhat lively acidity, bruised golden/green/red apple to apple sauce, bruised pear, white citrus blend-grapefruit w/ pith leading, quince, touch of brown sugar, some yeastiness, baguette crust, graham cracker, volcanic minerals w/ clay, white spice, caramel notes, vanillin, sea spray, grippy, grainy chalk, sea fossils-oysters, limestone marl, withering …

Canned peach, strawberry, ripe apple, biscuit, bread crust, and light smoke, with medium-fine mousse, medium(+) acidity and good length. I found the champagne to be sweet-ish, presumably due to a generous very generous dosage (9 g/l? feels higher). As a result this champagne is broad and flabby, and it lacks in tension and freshness. Underwhelming.

큰 감흥은 없다

Nice..

great wine for a Sunday 2nd bottle

Lemon rind, mineral, brioche. Old reliable. Nothing wrong here.

Good, but the price is more for the marketing.

Great showing tonight for this 17-year-old Widow Clicquot Ponsardin's sparkling wine from my cellar - starting off the first of our 2026 biweekly, double-blind-format dinner at Two Chefs. The second champagne, a NV Charles Heidsieck Brut, was also quite delicious, but the consensus opinion was that the 2008 -- from a 97+-rated vintage by Galloni -- was in a class by itself. The 2008 was non-stop bubbles in the glass, still with a lot of freshness and finesse, and with …

생각보다 복합적이진 않으나 직관적으로 향과 맛이 훌륭 전형적인 리오슈향

2008 vintage

This was our first taste of real champagne when we visited Reims almost 14 years ago. It is now our go to bottle when we just want to enjoy a champagne. Can't go wrong with it.

Showing incredibly well! Perfect place in its development with the incisiveness of 2008 buttressing some nuanced development. This wine was better than any vintage of grand dame I’ve drunk.

**See previous notes Christmas gift from Roo Pale peach flesh in color Dusty, lemon brioche nose. Nutty. Nice mousse. Tastes like the nose. Medium finish. Some gooseberry and pink grapefruit. Nicely balanced. Excellent bubble for the pricepoint. Can't go wrong with it. A crowd pleaser. A touch too sweet for me. Watched Fallout Season 2 this afternoon

Dependable and a good basic champagne

Better options in this price bracket. Dry but in all the wrong places. Not nearly enough brioche to warm up the acid.

Decent high Brut champagne. Red fruit, lemon, toast. Mineral there. Decently long finish.

Perfect flavor of sweetness to tart

The crowd favorite last night. Smooth. Mellow.

Happy New Year! The “go-to” for a casual midnight toast.

Perfect btl for New Year’s Day mimosas.

turned

Green apple. Pleasantly dry.

Happy New Year! The �go-to� for a casual midnight toast.

New Years Day: Vrai Champagne, Ninth Annual Edition (Brad & Marcia's Place, St. Paul, MN) : Small pour. Brief note. Nothing truly remarkable, but a well made straightforward Champagne that won't disappoint. Citrus, limestone, yeasty. 90+pts.

solid champagne. For me this is in the beginning of its drinking window but no panic, got years ahead without problem.

2012 vintage

Been exploring alternatives in Creman and Cava, but nothing compares! Bold champagne with high acidity and a lot of small bubbles. Notes of apple, brioche, and citrus. And YES, did use this as a cooking wine 💸

Amazing bottle. So easy to drink

APPEARANCE: Clear and gold in color, with medium intensity. Bubbles were observed. NOSE: Clean, with medium(-) intensity. Detected floral (honeysuckle), green fruit (apple, pear), citrus fruit (orange peel), stone fruit (nectarine), tropical fruit (melon), yeast (bread), fruit development (dried apple) and other (Citrus zest) aromas. This wine is developing. PALATE: Off-dry, with medium(+) acidity and low tannin. Medium alcohol. Body is medium(-), with creamy mousse and medium flavor intensity. Detected green fruit (apple), citrus fruit (grapefruit, lemon, lemon peel) and …

A real step up from the NV. Can really taste the age and yeastiness.
