Veuve Clicquot "Yellow Label"
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Champagne
Full and rich this is a champagne for all occasions! In the glass it is a beautiful golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles.
Its aromas arouse the senses. They initially are reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, following with vanilla and later; brioche. A fine balance between is struck between the fruity grape aromas and the toasty bottle aged aromas.
The first sip delivers freshness and forcefulness with a symphony of fruit tastes following on. The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or spice note distinct. It only improves with further aging.
Champagne Grape Blend:30% Chardonnay, 55% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier
Features:"The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine. ... Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal." - Veuve Clicquot
