Tasted in magnum, the nose offers yeasty bready aromas topped with fresh citrus, hints of stone fruit and strawberry tart. A palate of fresh croissants, red berries, green apple and lively lemon citrus, with the larger format lending lovely creaminess to the bright finish. Veuve Clicquot's iconic Yellow Label is a blend of 30% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier and 50% Pinot Noir, which provides the cuvée's signature structure. Up to 45% reserve wines in the blend ensure consistency.

Ripe citrus aromas with sea breeze and stone minerality. The palate shows attractive red berry fruit and lovely, firm acidity - a stylish wine.

2011 - Decanter World Wine Awards
Lemon citrus aromas. Fine bubbles. A light and lively palate of pear and peach. Pleasant depth and concentration.
Award: Bronze - DWWA 2011
2010 - Decanter World Wine Awards
Restrained nose of straightforward, toasty fruits and red apple. Structure palate, crisp and mature, with lemony note, and good length.
Award: Silver - DWWA 2010
Winemakers Notes
This signature champagne gains its structure from the predominant presence of pinot noir (50-55%), roundness from meunier (15-20%) and elegance from chardonnay (28-33%). The grapes are sourced from 50 to 60 crus, and the blend comprises 25-45% reserve wines that have been aged up to 15 years.
