“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 aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.“

THE BLEND
Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label.
Veuve Clicquot Champagne is made by blending reserve wines (30-45%) with grapes sourced from up to 60 different vineyards. The blend consists predominantly of Pinot Noir (50-55%), which provides the signature structure of the brand, Chardonnay (28-33%) contributes elegance and finesse, and a small addition of Meunier (15-20%) adds a touch of completeness. After aging for at least 3 years in the Crayères (minimum for Yellow Label), the Champagne develops a silky texture.
FOOD PAIRING
A light and refreshing drink to stimulate the appetite before a meal, typically served with light snacks such as crackers, nuts or olives. Veuve Yellow Label Champagne makes for an excellent aperitif due to its bubbles, crisp acidity, and hint of fruitiness.
