    Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot has since lived by it's motto, "Only one quality, the finest." "Yellow Label" is it's signature champagne, defining the Veuve Clicquot style through a perfect balance of strength, aromatic intensity, freshness and silkiness. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure while the addition of 30 to 45% of priceless Reserve Wines will ensure the year on year consistency that is so typically Clicquot. On the nose: yellow and white fruits, then notes of vanilla and later of brioche. On the palate: freshness and strength while pear and lemon tastes appear.

    Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label NV 1.5L

    This fresh and balanced champagne is lightly toasted, with snappy acidity and a lively, creamy mousse carrying flavours of white cherry, pickled ginger and marcona almond. Offer saline-laced minerality.

    — Wine Spectator, 90 POINTS

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

    — Decanter, 94 POINTS

    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 flavours give it an immediate drinkability as well as perfumed acidity and a vibrant aftertaste. Drink this bottling now.

    Veuve Clicquot

    Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin was born in 1777, the daughter of a textile manufacturer in Reims, Champagne. Widowed at the age of only 27, she took control of her own destiny and became one of the first modern entrepreneurs. In an era when women were excluded from the business world, she dared to assume the head of the company founded by her father-in-law in 1772, a role she undertook with passion and determination. Her creativity and lust for innovation led to many firsts in Champagne: the first known vintage champagne; the invention of the riddling table; the first known blended rosé champagne. Three inventions that revolutionised champagne making and were widely adopted by producers, becoming the basis of modern champagne production. Madame Clicquot made her name into a brand of excellence and had it shine the world over. Her formidable contributions earned her the nickname of "la grande dame of Champagne".

    The entire history of the Veuve Clicquot House is marked by mythical wines, all of which respect the demand for quality that was the force that drove Madame Clicquot. True to this heritage, the House is proud of its motto: "Only one quality, the finest." A short lineage of just 11 Cellar Masters has led this quest for quality, thereby ensuring the continuity of the Veuve Clicquot style: strength and complexity. Veuve Clicquot prides itself on excellence and quality. Only the juice from the cuvée (the first and most noble pressing) is used.

    Tasting notes

    NOSE
    Vanilla, Fruity, Toasty

    On the nose initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, the of vanilla and later brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas, result of the three years of bottle aging.

    PALATE
    Fresh, Structured, Lingering

    The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit tastes following on (pear, lemon). Here is a true member of the brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or almond notes distinct.

    FINISH
    Crisp, Persistent, Well Rounded

    Crisp and persistent, with the citrus and fruit flavours lingering on the palate. A touch of minerality and a hint of toasty notes round out the finish.
