Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label 750mL

Tasting Notes

First, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label looks beautiful; golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Next it is so pleasing on the nose: 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. 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 strcutred, admirably vinous. The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or almond notes distinct. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconicile 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 aperitif, and perfect as the champagne to enjoy with a meal.
