Veuve Clicquot, Yellow Label Champagne
Think strength and silkiness, a perfect balance with aromatic intensity and a lot of freshness.
Producer Information
Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, the house was later taken over by his widow Madame Clicquot at the age of 27 in 1810. Through determination, intuition and acumen Madame Clicquot not only created the first recorded vintage in the Champagne region but built up the Veuve Clicquot property to make it one of the foremost vineyards in all of Champagne.
Wine Making
Blended from 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend. The long aging in our Crayères (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne.
Tasting Note
Think strength and silkiness, a perfect balance with aromatic intensity and a lot of freshness.
Food Matching
Great as an aperitif or with sea food, fish tartar, salmon, pasta and parmesan.
