The non-vintage Clicquot has been a dinner party staple for many a year and brings with it an approachable style that has a dominance of pinot noir and meunier with a large proportion of reserve wines. Look out for the non-vintage rosé which is identical in production to its NV brother but with the addition of 12% red wine from some of the best grand cru sites; Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy \u0026amp; Verzenay. The rosé has been flying under the radar for too long and deserves your attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is far too impressive to be pairing with dessert despite the lovely notes of red cherry and rose. The spectrum of this rosé is more savoury which would stand up exceptionally well to game. Find a good poultry store and order some quail. Roast the bird with raisons, chestnuts, sage and spice. This will make a wonderful meal. \u003c\/p\u003e"}

The aim is to have a consistent ‘house-style’ year in, year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous, even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style. So instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from giving their ‘NV’ the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts with the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles.

All the pinot noir is proudly sourced from the Cotes des Bar comprising 60% of the blend, with the balance being chardonnay and no meunier. It has spent 5 years in the cellar in addition to the very rich addition of solera aged reserve wines at 40% spanning 2002-2011. Expect soft, round and plush pinot flavours with less acidity than say a blanc de blancs, but more body and depth.
