Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne – 750ml

A Symbol of Celebration: The Signature Champagne of the Famed Yellow Label.

Instantly recognisable and universally celebrated, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the enduring signature of one of Champagne’s most illustrious houses. This 750ml bottle, with its iconic yellow label, is a global symbol of joy, elegance, and the art of celebration. It is a Champagne that is both powerful and complex, a testament to a 250-year history of quality and a visionary female pioneer.

The Legacy of ‘La Grande Dame’ of Champagne: Founded in 1772, the House owes its name and its reputation to Madame Clicquot. In 1805, this audacious 27-year-old (“veuve” translates to “widow” in French) took the reins of the business after her husband’s passing. Her creativity and innovation, including the invention of the riddling rack to produce crystal-clear Champagne, revolutionised the industry and established the standards of quality and excellence that define the House to this day.

A Perfectly Balanced Blend: The Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is a masterful blend that reflects the House’s prestigious vineyards and a high proportion of reserve wines. The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir, which provides the structure and power that is so typically Clicquot. This is expertly balanced with Chardonnay for elegance and finesse, and a touch of Pinot Meunier to round out the blend. The result is a wine of perfect poise and remarkable consistency.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: A beautiful golden-yellow hue, with a fine and persistent stream of bubbles.
• Nose: An initial bouquet of white and yellow fruits such as pear and peach, which develops into notes of vanilla and toasted brioche.
• Palate: A perfect balance between power and silkiness. The initial freshness gives way to a symphony of fruit notes, all underpinned by a complex, toasty character.
• Finish: A long and satisfying finish that is both aromatic and exceptionally well-balanced.

The Ultimate Celebration: To open a bottle of Veuve Clicquot is to make any occasion special. It’s the perfect accompaniment to life’s great moments, from anniversaries and birthdays to raising a glass on a sunny afternoon in Halesowen. It’s more than just a Champagne; it’s an invitation to celebrate life with audacity and elegance.
