Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin NV Brut 12.5% abv 75cl

Veuve Clicquot Champagne Yellow Label Brut NV is one of the most recognisable and famous Non-Vintage Champagnes from a historic house, the Brut Yellow Label reflecting the art of blending up to 60 different crus. The proportion of grape variety used is 55% Pinot Noir – 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier – 28 to 33% Chardonnay.

Madame Clicquot’s wine displays a superb marriage of freshness and power, gorgeous and deceptively pale colour with fine, persistent bubbles – a poised, delicately bready nose – and on the palate a richness of fruit and mouth-filling mousse that lingers long. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors – forcefulness and finesse – and to hold them in perfectbalance.
