The company was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot and has since specialised in the production of champagne, with a focus on the Pinot Noir grape variety. Following the death of her husband, Francois Clicquot, just two years after their marriage, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin took over the management of the company in 1810. In 1986, Veuve Clicquot merged with Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. Jacques Peters is currently the company’s chief winemaker. Veuve Clicquot’s motto, both then and now, is: ‘Only one quality – the best’.

Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Yellow Label, a harmonious blend of 28% Chardonnay, 56% Pinot Noir and 16% Pinot Meunier, is an exquisite champagne with an ageing potential of 3–4 years.

The Yellow Label is aged for 12 months in wooden barrels. Carefully bottled and sealed with a natural cork, it guarantees a first-class tasting experience.

Tasting Note

In the glass, Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Yellow Label displays a radiant, golden-yellow hue with lively bubbles that emphasise its freshness and elegance. On the nose, a finely nuanced bouquet unfolds, featuring white fruits, ripe pears and apples, accompanied by delicate citrus notes and a hint of brioche, indicative of its long ageing on the lees. On the palate, the champagne is balanced and well-structured, offering a harmonious blend of freshness and richness. The fruity aromas are complemented by hints of vanilla, toasted almonds and subtle mineral notes. The finish is long-lasting, lively and elegant, with a delicate complexity typical of the House of Veuve Clicquot.

Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label is excellent as an aperitif, but also shows its true class when paired with fine cuisine. It is particularly recommended with fine sushi, fresh oysters or scallops. It also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses such as a mature Brie or Chaource. For those who prefer something a little more sophisticated, it can be served with a pan-fried guinea fowl breast with a citrus reduction or a light fish terrine. A Tarte Tatin with a hint of vanilla is recommended as a dessert pairing.
