Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne Half Bottle

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne, France, NV, Half Bottle 

"Yellow Label" is blended from over 50 wines taken from different Crus (vineyards) and several vintages to produce the house style – all from the three Champagne grape varieties, and is usually around 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier – depending on the wine. Around 35% of the blend utilises older, reserve wines with the rest being from the latest vintage. Minimum of 3 years in VCP's cellars before release to the market.

Producer Tasting Note:

Golden-Yellow colour with tiny bubbles. 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. The flavours of pear, peach, and pastry are enhanced by a touch of dried fruit from ageing on the lees.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"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. Drink now."

90/100 points, Roger Voss, WINE ENTHUSIAST, December 2022

"Firm and delicious, showing sliced apples and green pears with some flint and bread dough. It’s medium-bodied with fine bubbles and a crisp, delicious finish. Gives a dry impression. Drink now"

James Suckling, July 2025
