Graham Beck Cuvée Clive 2019

From Graham Beck, Cuvée Clive 2019 is a prestige cuvée Brut created as an expression of the house’s artistic ambition and craft in the pursuit of exceptional sparkling wine. Defined by elegance, finesse and complexity, it is made as a Cap Classique and produced only in exceptional vintages, in extremely limited quantities.

This cuvée is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with only the highest quality juice (tête de cuvée) selected from the first ultra-gentle whole-bunch pressing. The result is a multi-faceted, complex sparkling wine designed for landmark occasions, while also offering clear appeal for collectors. Cuvée Clive is noted as being suitable for cellaring, making it a considered choice for those who enjoy laying down special bottles for future celebrations.

Its cultural cachet is underscored by a literary nod: in Jeffery Deaver’s novel Carte Blanche, James Bond is described as enjoying Cuvée Clive in place of his signature martini.
