VEUVE CLICQUOT Brut 'Yellow Label' NV Bottle

Description

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is one of the most recognisable and beloved Champagnes in the world, serving as the definitive house style for this historic maison. Its signature yellow label is a guarantee of quality and a commitment to the "only one quality, the finest" motto established by Madame Clicquot herself.

What makes this non-vintage blend so consistent and impressive is the high proportion of Pinot Noir, which provides the strength and structure that the house is famous for. This is balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay and the fruitiness of Pinot Meunier. To ensure a seamless house style year after year, the cellar master incorporates a high percentage of reserve wines, some up to nine years old, which adds a remarkable depth and complexity to the blend.

In the glass, it shows a beautiful golden yellow colour with a fine and persistent mousse. On the nose, it is wonderfully aromatic, offering bright notes of white peach, plum, and pear, followed by sophisticated hints of vanilla and toasted brioche that come from extended cellar ageing. On the palate, it is crisp and full-bodied, showing a perfect harmony between fresh fruit and toasty richness. It is an honest and sophisticated wine that remains a global icon for a very good reason.
