July was particularly cool and rainy. This capricious weather demanded much adaptability from both plants and winegrowers alike. At last, come August, the good weather finally arrived! It was very dry, sunny and hot, scorching even, giving the vines the perfect end to their growing cycle. The harvest began in mid-September in the cool of autumn. It was a particularly staggered affair and the first grapes were picked between the 10th and 27th September, depending on the area. The grapes were perfectly ripe, and even though the quantity harvested was less than in previous years, the grapes were superb, producing wines that are elegant, fresh and fruity; true “classics”!

The cold finally arrived in March. The end of April was marked by an unusual succession of destructive spring frosts and spring itself was notable for its lack of sunshine and very heavy rainfall, which encouraged the onset of mildew. July was particularly cool and rainy. This capricious weather demanded much adaptability from both plants and winegrowers alike. At last, come August, the good weather finally arrived! It was very dry, sunny and hot, scorching even, giving the vines the perfect end to their growing cycle. The harvest began in mid-September in the cool of autumn. It was a particularly staggered affair and the first grapes were picked between the 10th and 27th September, depending on the area. The grapes were perfectly ripe, and even though the quantity harvested was less than in previous years, the grapes were superb, producing wines that are elegant, fresh and fruity; true “classics”! After a trying wine-growing year, the high quality of this harvest was just reward for the work done in the field and delighted all those involved in the chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Taittinger Vintage Brut is exclusively produced from first press wines, blended from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir.

straw hue, the wine positively screams elegance and intensity. A seamless style, we have notes of quince, stone fruits, lemongrass, florals, honey and peaches. A note like roasted apricots. There are hints of raspberries to be seen here. A champagne which is all class and drinking majestically at the moment. Warmth and focus and their typical creamy texture, before a lingering crescendo of rich flavors, honeycomb, florals and berries.

In spring, the region faces a heavy rainfall of 60% above the average of the season, followed by late frost, finally, a series of severe hailstorms ruined more than 1,000 hectares of the overall Champagne vineyard. Then, summer comes around mid-August and brings ideal sunny conditions, very dry weather and high temperature until the end of the harvest. Despite those damages which leads to a pretty modest harvest, quality is optimum revealing a great aging potential for the wines. Naturally, 2012 is declared a Veuve Clicquot Vintage and became the House’s 66th since its first vintage of 1810. As with every Veuve Clicquot champagne, Pinot Noir dominates the blend (51%) exclusively from Grands and Premier Crus from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne (Verzy, Verzenay, Ludes, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Tauxières, Avenay and Aÿ).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay comes entirely from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Vertus) and makes up 34%.

The uniqueness of the Veuve Clicquot Vintage collection remains in the addition of wines aged in large oak casks, bringing strength and aromatic intensity.
