Product Information
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label truly is the House’s signature champagne – balancing all 4 dimensions defining the Veuve Clicquot style: freshness, strength, aromatic richness &
silkiness. One of the top names in Champagne, Veuve Clicquot's repertoire of fine wines is outstanding, with the Yellow Label standing out as one of the most popular of these. In the words of Madame Clicquot herself, "One quality only, the finest".
o Perfect for Sharing: The Magnum holds the equivalent of two standard bottles, making it
a great choice for small gatherings.
o Better Aging: The science: In a Magnum, the ratio of wine to air in the bottle is higher than
in a standard bottle. This means the Champagne oxidizes more slowly, allowing it to age
more gracefully and develop richer, more complex flavours.
o Finer Bubbles: Because the Champagne matures more slowly, the bubbles are finer and
the texture is smoother.
o Quality Craftsmanship: Veuve Clicquot Magnums are aged and fermented in the same
bottle you buy, which preserves the integrity and freshness of the Champagne.
Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Brand details
Founded in Reims in 1772, the House of Veuve Clicquot remains true to its motto: “Only one quality, the finest.” In 1805, Madame Clicquot took the reins of the House and became one of the first businesswomen of modern times, acquiring the epithet “la grande dame of Champagne.” Her visionary spirit and innate sense of French “art de vivre” live on today. Her iconic cuvée, Brut Carte Jaune, is synonymous with more than two centuries of know-how and an exceptional heritage. The colour of the sun, it symbolizes the values of audacity and optimism that the House has carried for 250 years.

History
Veuve Clicquot's Yellow Label Brut is the maison's signature champagne and the one against which all others are judged - balancing strength, aromatic intensity and freshness. Created for a British market that desired “dry” wines, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label was trademarked in 1877 and has been used to toast events big and small ever since.

Tasting notes
On the eyes: Tiny bubbles permeate the bright, golden-yellow Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label in the glass
On the nose: Aromas of peaches and raisins reflect the grape varietals, while the ageing process results in notes of vanilla and toasted brioche
On the palate: Fresh and full-bodied, Yellow Label Brut is well structured, with a robust acidity and a streak of minerality
