The name Cuvée Saint-Petersbourg evokes a famous episode in the life of Madame Clicquot, who in 1814, despite the blockade that immobilized trade in Europe, managed to export bottles of Champagne to Russia, making them arrive safe and sound at the court of St. Petersburg. It was a memorable success and this event consecrated the fortune of the maison within the rich Russian nobility. Veuve Clicquot's Brut Saint-Petersbourg comes from the same blend as the ever-pleasing Yellow Label, the company's most iconic Champagne. Pinot Noir in the majority, with a judicious addition of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The result is a Champagne of beautiful complexity that rests on the lees for about 48 months before disgorgement and put on the market. Notes of vanilla, pastry and bread crust well marked on the nose, great finesse and balance in the mouth.
If Champagne today is what it is, also from a stylistic point of view, much is due to the famous "widow", Veuve Clicquot. One of the most famous and respected women of Champagne who contributed with her work, determination and intuition, to make the famous French sparkling wine a true symbol of elegance and refinement. She created the first Vintage Champagne in 1810, invented the table de remuage, ancestor of the modern pupitre, and made the first Rosé Champagne in 1816. But the fate of widow Clicquot is especially linked to those of the Russian empire, at the very beginning with the first customer of the winery. Today, Veuve Clicquot, part of the prestigious luxury goods group LVMH, has more than 390 vineyards throughout the region, more than 80% of which are Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots.
