TASTING NOTES

Appearance: Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label looks beautiful; golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles.

Aroma: initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, the of vanilla and later brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas, result of the three years of bottle aging.

Taste: The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a sympthony of fruit tastes following on (pear, lemon). Here is a true member of the brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or almond notes distinct.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Yellow Label’s consistent power to please makes it ideal for an apéritif or to shine bright throughout a meal. Its radiant style works beautifully with salmon, blinis, fish tartare, seafood, tagliatelle, Parmesan and crackers.

This champagne is perfect with street food such as burgers, wok, vegetables and maki. Pair with raw and crunchy; tartar, carpaccio, salad and juicy fruits. Continue with freshness and energy: early fruits and vegetables and citrus.

EXPERT REVIEW

Wine Spectaor – 90 POINTS: This fresh and balanced champagne is lightly toasted, with snappy acidity and a lively, creamy mousse carrying flavours of white cherry, pickled ginger and marcona almond. Offer saline-laced minerality.

Decanter – 94 POINTS: Lemony richness on the nose, a stuck-match character that falls in with a lemon vanilla note. Toffee apple allure on the palate with chalky coolness and a savoury, nutty finish.

Wine enthisiast - 90 POINTS: One of the most popular of all champagnes, this is now showing a freshness that wasn't always there. The crisp texture and green apple flavours give it an immediate drinkability as well as perfumed acidity and a vibrant aftertaste. Drink this bottling now.
