Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne NV — Half Bottle (375ml)
Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is one of the oldest and most celebrated Champagne houses in the world — and the Yellow Label is its most iconic expression. Named for the distinctive bright golden-yellow label that has symbolized the house for over two centuries, Yellow Label Brut is the signature non-vintage blend that has defined the Veuve Clicquot style: structured, vinous, and unmistakably Pinot Noir-driven. The blend is 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier, aged three years on the lees for exceptional depth and complexity. Now available in a 375ml half-bottle — perfect for intimate celebrations, romantic dinners, or a beautifully considered gift.
Golden-yellow in the glass with a foaming necklace of tiny, lively bubbles. The nose opens with yellow and white fruits — pear, apple, vanilla — evolving into brioche and toasty notes from bottle aging. The palate delivers all the freshness and strength typical of Yellow Label: a symphony of pear, lemon, and grapefruit, with a silky texture, nutty complexity, and a long, well-structured finish.
James Suckling — 92 points
“Aromas of grapefruit, citrus peel, quince, toast and almonds. Medium-bodied with creamy, fine tannins. Silky texture. Nutty complexity at the end.”
Decanter — 91 points
“Noticeable fruit intensity and fresh notes of red fruits, fresh blueberries and a small amount of quince. Interesting and quite demanding.”
Wine Spectator — 90 points
“A crisp and lacy Champagne, with a hint of smoke underscoring flavors of poached apricot, pastry cream and pickled ginger.”

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the signature champagne of the House. Dominated by Pinot Noir, it offers the perfect balance of structure and finesse. Golden-yellow in color, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. It is pleasing to the nose; initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then of vanilla and later brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty notes, the result of the three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit following (pear, lemon). It is a true member of the Brut family, well-structured, admirably vinous.
