Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label NV 750 ml

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label 75cl
 

A Champagne House is eventually judged on the quality of its Brut Non Vintage. It is in the making of such a wine that the true Art of Champagne blending reveals itself.

This is an art in which the House of Veuve Clicquot excels. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Champagne reflects the superb vineyards they own and the consistent nature of the House style. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced Champagne.

Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label Champagne. Traditionally, the proportion of each grape variety used is : 50 to 55% Pinot Noir - 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier - 28 to 33% Chardonnay.

These figures vary slightly from year to year according to conditions. The Chef de Caves has to achieve the total consistency of taste, which makes Yellow Label Champagne so immediately recognisable, so utterly reliable both in terms of quality, colour and bouquet.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.
