✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to celebrate the turn of the millennium, the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Trilennium Reserve Brut is a rare, prestigious release sourced from the exceptional 1989 vintage. This cuvée represents the pinnacle of the house's blending expertise, drawing from prestigious Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. True to the house style established by Madame Clicquot, the blend is anchored by Pinot Noir, which imparts signature structure, vinous depth, and longevity, complemented by the elegance of Chardonnay and the fruitiness of Pinot Meunier. Having undergone extended cellar aging in the historic chalk crayères of Reims, this Champagne exhibits a rich, golden hue and complex aromas of toasted brioche, honeyed stone fruits, and roasted nuts, making it a historic collector's piece.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, Maison Veuve Clicquot attained legendary status under the stewardship of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, who was widowed in 1805. Madame Clicquot pioneered landmark innovations, creating the first recorded vintage Champagne in 1810, developing the riddling table (pupitre) in 1816, and formulating the modern blended rosé Champagne method in 1818. Today owned by LVMH, the house oversees roughly 390 hectares of estate vineyards—dominated by Grand and Premier Cru parcels across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne—all certified under Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC). Under Cellar Master Didier Mariotti, the winemaking philosophy remains anchored in Pinot Noir, imparting structure, breadth, and vinous intensity. Masterful reserve-wine blending and extended maturation inside Reims' UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk crayères define benchmark cuvées such as Yellow Label Brut, Extra Brut Extra Old, and the prestigious vintage cuvée, La Grande Dame.
