For the new vintage, Veuve Clicquot continues to claim optimism through colours with an unrecedented collaboration with Italian designer, Paola Paronetto.

A few notes of fresh sliced almond and frangipane complete the bouquet. In the mouth, there are more complex aromas: dried apricot, hazelnuts, honey and sugar candy.
