Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin "Yellow Label" Brut Non Vintage Champagne, France

"Yellow Label" is blended from over 50 wines taken from different Crus (vineyards) and several vintages to produce the house style – all from the three Champagne grape varieties, and is usually around 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier – depending on the wine. Around 35% of the blend utilises older, reserve wines with the rest being from the latest vintage. Minimum of 3 years in VCP's cellars before release to the market.

Producer Tasting Note:

Golden-Yellow colour with tiny bubbles. The aromas are of peach, mirabelle plum, pear and vanilla with toasty /brioche notes.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"This ever-popular Champagne is getting imperceptibly drier. There is a fresh edge to it that is new and welcome. Crisp apple fruits give the wine a lift at the end. Drink now."

90/100 points, Roger Voss, WINE ENTHUSIAST, December 2022

Also awarded Gold Medal at the 2022 Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships and Silver Medal at the 2022 Champagne Global Masters.

This Champagne is a great choice as a reception drink on arrival, for the wedding toast or for matching with food.

To fully appreciate the bubbles, subtleties and aromas of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, serve chilled in a tulip glass filled around two thirds full at around six degrees centigrade – just a touch warmer than your fridge. Then enjoy!
