Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut is the house’s signature champagne, known for its balance of strength, freshness, aromatic richness, and silkiness.
Tasting profile:
Appearance: Brilliant golden-yellow with a fine, persistent mousse.
Aroma: Opens with notes of white and yellow fruits like pear, apple, and peach. These are layered with hints of citrus (mandarin, grapefruit), and deepened by brioche and subtle vanilla from aging on the lees.
Palate: Structured and vibrant, thanks to the dominance of Pinot Noir (about 50%). You’ll taste ripe fruit, pastry, and a touch of dried fruit. The texture is creamy yet crisp, with a lingering, toasty finish.
Blend: Typically 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 20% Meunier, with up to 45% reserve wines to maintain consistency.
Serving Temp: Best enjoyed chilled at 8–10°C.
It’s a versatile champagne—elegant enough for a toast, but structured enough to pair with seafood, poultry, or even truffle risotto.
