The house of Veuve Clicquot is most famously known for their Brut Non Vintage Yellow Label champagne. It is
a blend of different grape varieties with the prominent grape being Pinot Noir for the structure and Pinot
Meunier to round the blend. They also add Chardonnay for the elegance and finesse that is essential in
champagne.
Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label. Traditionally the proportion
of each grape variety used is; 50 to 55% Pinot Nori, 1 5 to 20% Pinot Meunier and 28 to 33% Chardonnay. The
chef de Caves has to achieve the total consistency of taste, which makes Yellow Label so immediately
recognisable and always reliable, both in terms of colour and quality. To make the blend consistent every year,
he will draw on priceless reserve wines to give the blend its consistent flavour.
On the eye, Yellow Label is a beautiful golden-yellow colour. When you take in the aroma you initially sense
white fruits and raisins, then vanilla and later of brioche. On the palate you receive freshness and forcefulness
that is so typical of Yellow label with a symphony of fruit taste following on.
