Veuve Clicquot's emblematic cuvée

Clicquot Yellow Label truly is the House’s signature champagne – balancing all 4 dimensions defining the Veuve Clicquot style: freshness, strength, aromatic richness & silkiness.

Details

The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while a touch of Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.

To ensure the quality and continuity of the Yellow Label’s style, the blend can be created with up to 45 % reserve wines. Veuve Clicquot has the largest and the most varied collection of reserve wines (400 wines, aged up to 30 years).

Tasting Notes

STRENGTH, AROMATIC RICHNESS, FRESHNESS, SILKINESS

The wine is characterized by a brilliant golden yellow color and a fine, persistent effervescence.

Yellow Label Brut cuvée reveals an aromatic profile dominated by notes of white and yellow fruits like pear, apple, and peach. Hints of citrus fruits like mandarin and grapefruit blend harmoniously with gourmand aromas of brioche.

Yellow Label Brut is structured by Pinot Noir, the true backbone of the wine. It offers flavors of pear, peach, and pastry enhanced by a touch of dried fruit from aging on lees, which gives it a true aromatic richness.

Ratings and Reviews

94/100

Bettane + Desseauve

"This emblematic cuvée is back in the foreground, we feel that the work on the great pinots of the house and the wines of reserve bears fruits. Even more energy and intensity than usual, it’s superb."

94/100

Decanter

"Lemony richness on the nose, a struck-match character that falls in with a lemon vanilla note. Toffee apple allure on the palate with chalky coolness and a savoury, nutty finish."

90/100

Wine Spectator

"This fresh and balanced Champagne is lightly toasty, with snappy acidity and a lively, creamy mousse carrying flavors of white cherry, pickled ginger and saline-laced minerality."

90/100

Wine Enthusiast

"One of the most popular of all Champagnes, this is now showing a freshness that wasn't always there. The crisp texture and green-apple flavors give it an immediate drinkability as well as perfumed acidity and a vibrant aftertaste. Drink this bottling now."
