Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the house’s signature non-vintage Champagne, produced continuously since 1877 and dominated by Pinot Noir, which gives it its characteristic strength, complexity and elegance. Up to 45% of the blend is made up of reserve wines, a technique the house pioneered to guarantee a consistent style year after year, and it spends a minimum of three years ageing in the house’s cellars before release. It remains one of the most widely recognised Champagnes in the world, instantly identifiable by its yellow label.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then vanilla and later brioche, apple, citrus and toasted almond.
PALATE- A symphony of fruit tastes, pear and lemon, fresh and structured, with white peach and a touch of mineral smoke.
FINISH- Well-structured and admirably vinous, a crisp, lacy finish with a touch of spice.
