About This Wine

Veuve Clicquot

Yellow Label Brut Champagne

A perfect balance between power and finesse its complexity comes from the predominant presence of Pinot Noir and reserve wines. It showcases the superb vineyards and the consistent style of house Clicquot. The blend: grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus are used for the blending of yellow label. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the core structure of Clicquot while a touch of Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential to a perfectly balanced wine.

Wine Region

Champagne

A word synonymous with luxury, champagne is the purist's choice when it's time to celebrate. To be called champagne, a wine has to come from the Champagne region in northeastern France, about an hour from Paris. Winemakers must also follow specific rules to call their wine champagne. Only certain grapes can be used—principally Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Secondly, the wine needs to be made in the traditional method (méthode champenoise) involving a second fermentation in the bottle. Finally, wines have to age for a certain amount of time: 15 months for non-vintage, and 36 months for vintage. Available as white or rosé, champagne comes in a range of sweetness levels and tends to have bready, cookie-like flavors alongside fresh fruit notes of apple and pear.

Dominated by Pinot Noir, the House’s signature Yellow Label is immediately pleasing on the nose while its complexity explodes on the palate. The initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla. Yellow Label offers a perfect balance of finesse and forcefulness.
