WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the signature champagne of the House. Dominated by Pinot Noir, it offers the perfect balance of structure and finesse. Golden-yellow in color, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. It is pleasing to the nose; initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then of vanilla and later brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty notes, the result of the three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit following (pear, lemon). It is a true member of the Brut family, well-structured, admirably vinous.
Blend: 55% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES:
This has aromas of grapefruit, citrus peel, quince, toast and almonds. It’s medium-bodied with creamy, fine tannins. Silky texture. Nutty complexity at the end.
- James Suckling, 92 pts.
Noticeable fruit intensity and fresh notes of red fruits, fresh blueberries and a small amount of quince. Interesting and quite demanding.
- Decanter, 91 pts.
Lively, with tangy acidity and a zesty mousse, this aperitif-style Champagne shows notes of mandarin orange, blackberry, toast and a touch of pastry cream. Subtle, smoke-tinged finish.
- Wine Spectator, 90 pts.
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.
