This fantastic Champagne house, whose orange-yellow label has become its trademark, has a rich and fascinating history. Veuve Clicquot has been a household name in France for over 200 years. In 1772, businessman Philippe Clicquot opened this Champagne house with the ambitious goal of expanding beyond the country's borders. After some modest success, his son took over the house a few years later and, together with his wife, created this magnificent Champagne house. Unfortunately, he was only able to experience this passion for Champagne for a short time, as he passed away in 1805, leaving behind his 27-year-old wife. Grief-stricken, she decided to continue her husband's legacy. She thus became the first female owner of a Champagne house. The widow, or in French, Veuve, managed to make these Champagnes internationally famous.

This is partly why all the grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring a strict selection process. Once the grapes arrive at the large press, they are gently crushed. This ensures that only the finest and purest juice is released, which is used for this delicious Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label. All the grapes from the various regions are pressed separately. Only later is the final blend created, after which the wine is fermented in the cellars for three years. This is where the beautiful mousse develops.

The Tempranillo Blanco is grown on clayier soils, and the Sauvignon Blanc comes from plots in the coolest, easternmost part of the DO at an altitude of over 700 meters. All grape varieties are hand-harvested at peak ripeness. Each variety is vinified completely independently. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. This is followed by a long maceration at low temperatures in contact with the skins to extract all the primary aromas. The wine is then aged in oak barrels. After aging in these barrels in the Montecillo cellars, this white Rioja is aged on the lees for another three months, giving it a full-bodied and very powerful wine. The aroma is dominated by citrus fruit and freshly baked bread. The palate is full and rounded with a touch of freshness as a backbone.

Today, under Augustus's leadership, the estate has become one of the flagship producers in the Rheingau region and has also built an impressive international reputation. The estate encompasses 80 hectares of vineyards in some of the Rheingau's finest locations.

The soil consists of slate and Taunus quartzite, allowing the grapes to develop unique characteristics that are reflected in the flavor. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The Daily August Pinot Noir is then aged in oak barrels. Quality is continuously maintained throughout the production process, with regular tastings taking place. If the quality is not high enough, the bottles are not labeled August Kesseler. The result is a light ruby-red wine with aromas of black cherries and blueberries. This continues in the flavor, with soft, fruity notes of cassis and a subtle spice.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775814209615,"sku":"12106","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/august-kesseler-the-daily-august-pinot-noir_12106.webp?v=1770370221"},{"product_id":"dumanet-grande-reserve-chardonnay","title":"Dumanet Grande Reserve Chardonnay","description":"The ultimate version of the ever-successful Dumanet Chardonnay Reserve.
