The Veuve Clemence gets four years of ageing on the lees to the Reserve's three, and comes from older vineyards. They are both entirely estate grown, grand cru chardonnay. Before now, this cuvee was only available for the French market, but because of our great relationship with Launois, we were able to convince them to sell some for the club. If you like it, don't hesitate- they may not have more for us the next time I order. While the wine certainly has mid palate power, it is a dry, serious Champagne that loves to be paired with shellfish and is a wonder with sushi. Those of you who love a bracing aperitif will also enjoy it by itself. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer)
