Product Description
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the signature champagne of the House. Dominated by Pinot Noir, it offers a perfect balance of structure and finesse.
First, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Next it is so pleasing to the nose: initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then of vanilla and later of brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas, the result of the three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit tastes following (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. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - strength and silkiness - and to hold them in perfect balance with aromatic intensity and a lot of freshness.
This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an apéritif, and perfect as the champagne to enjoy with a meal.

James SucklingToasty and generous with lemon freshness, this also has quite some dried-pear and peach aromas from mature elements of the blend, plus a touch of spice at the long, structured finish. The cuvée is based on 2015 and is 50% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay and 20% pinot meunier. Reserve wines make up more than one third of the blend. Drink now.

Wine SpectatorA crisp and lacy Champagne, with a hint of smoke underscoring flavors of poached apricot, pastry cream and pickled ginger. An overtone of Mandarin orange peel ties it all together.

Wine & SpiritsBrisk lemon-lime flavors and floral apple clarity lend this wine its freshness and mineral-tinged refreshment. It smells like chalk, then the flavors are enriched by toasty brioche and spiciness from the lees aging. Simple and saturated, finely made in a grandmarque style. Best Buy
Champagne is essentially carbonated confetti in a bottle—born in the chilly chalk cellars of northeastern France yet strutting out like a gold-studded diva on awards night. Legend says monk Dom Pérignon discovered the sparkle and shouted, “Come quickly, I’m drinking the stars!”—which is precisely the sort of dramatic entrance Champagne still makes at every party. Each racing bubble whispers, “You’re classier than your credit score,” while gently urging you toward oysters, caviar, and eventually those questionable dance moves you’ll blame on the playlist. It can elevate Tuesday takeout to royal-court status, transform a breakup into an “I’m fabulous anyway” moment, and convince even the shyest guest they speak flawless French—oui, absolument! Just remember: beneath that elegant pop lurks a mischievous fizz capable of inflating egos and turning toasts into karaoke—so sip with both pinky and sense of humor properly raised.
Non-vintage sparkling wine, commonly referred to as NV or "Méthode Traditionnelle," is an amalgamation of wines from various years, skillfully blended to achieve a consistent and harmonious flavor profile. Produced using the traditional method, this sparkling wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, contributing to its effervescence and complexity. By intentionally avoiding a specific vintage designation, winemakers have the flexibility to maintain a reliable and recognizable style, allowing consumers to enjoy a reliable and delicious sparkling experience year after year.
