Yellow Label is the iconic label of the Veuve Clicquot house, born from the blending of 50-60 different Crus of Champagne. A sparkling wine of rare complexity, given by the high presence of Pinot Noir grapes, accounting for 50-55%. The blend is completed with Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes, in varying percentages depending on the vintage.
Chef de Cave Dominique Demarville works to maintain the qualitative and stylistic consistency of this Champagne icon to make it immediately recognizable. For this reason, he performs a precious blending action that draws on reserve wines from previous harvests.
It colors the glass with a golden yellow, presenting a very fine and wonderfully persistent bubble. On the nose, it is rich and ample, with fruity sensations of peach, Mirabelle plum, and pear that blend wonderfully with vanilla and toasted brioche tones.
Suitable for high-level aperitifs, it is suggested to pair it with fish tartare, salmon, and seafood, but also served with Parmesan cheese flakes.
