Instantly recognisable, Veuve Clicquot’s Yellow Label Brut is the maison’s signature champagne and the one against which all others are judged – balancing strength, aromatic intensity and freshness.
Created for a British market that desired “dry” wines, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label was trademarked in 1877 and has been used to toast events big and small ever since.
This signature champagne gains its structure from the predominant presence of pinot noir (50-55%), roundness from meunier (15-20%) and elegance from chardonnay (28-33%).
The grapes are sourced from 50 to 60 crus, and the blend comprises 25-45% reserve wines that have been aged up to 15 years.
Nose: Fresh yeasty green apple skin opening up to buttery tarte tatin and tart gooseberry.
Palate: Slight sweetness balanced by clean acidity.
Finish: Biscuity honey finish with a lingering sweetness.
