Wine Spectator
“This harmonious Champagne is appealing for its refreshing, aperitif style, yet theres greater focus than is typical for an aperitif to the notes of patisserie apple and pear, lemon parfait, chopped almond and oyster shell. Its vibrant acidity and lacy texture carry the profile on the mineral-driven finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now.”
Highlights
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne 750ml
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.
Critical Acclaim
92 James Suckling
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.
90 Wine Spectator
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.
90 Wine Enthusiast
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.
