Description
Veuve Clicquot was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot and is now one of the most famous champagne houses in the world. After the early death of her husband François Clicquot in 1805, his young widow, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, courageously took over the management of the company. Thanks to her innovative spirit and determination, she led the house to international success.
The merger with Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) in 1986 further strengthened the brand. Veuve Clicquot remains true to its motto to this day: "Only one quality - the best."
Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Yellow Label is made from a harmonious blend of the three classic Champagne grape varieties. The cuvée consists of 56% Pinot Noir, which gives the champagne its structure and depth. 28% Chardonnay provides freshness and elegance, while 16% Pinot Meunier contributes richness and fruity notes.
This careful composition reflects the characteristic style of Veuve Clicquot and ensures consistently high quality. The dominance of Pinot Noir is typical of the house and gives the Brut Yellow Label its concise and balanced personality. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
In the glass, the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Yellow Label has a radiant, golden yellow hue with a lively perlage that emphasizes its freshness and elegance. A finely nuanced bouquet of white fruits, ripe pears and apples unfolds on the nose, accompanied by delicate citrus notes and a hint of brioche, which indicates the long maturation on the lees. On the palate, the champagne is balanced and structured with a harmonious combination of freshness and fullness. The fruity aromas are complemented by hints of vanilla, roasted almonds and subtle mineral notes. The finish is long-lasting, lively and elegant, with a fine complexity that is typical of the House of Veuve Clicquot.

Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label is ideal as an aperitif, but also shows its full class as an accompaniment to fine food. We particularly recommend pairing it with fine sushi, fresh oysters or scallops. It also harmonizes perfectly with creamy cheeses such as mature Brie or Chaource. If you prefer something more refined, you can serve it with a roast breast of guinea fowl with a citrus reduction or a light fish terrine. A tarte tatin with a hint of vanilla is recommended as a dessert accompaniment. (automated translation)
