Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Yellow Label 12,5% Vol. 0,375l

The house was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot and has specialized in the production of champagne ever since, with a focus on the Pinot Noir grape variety. After the death of her husband Francois Clicquot just two years after their marriage, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin took over the management of the company in 1810. In 1986, Veuve Clicquot merged with Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy. Jacques Peters is currently the company's head winemaker. Veuve Clicquot's motto, both then and now, is: "Only one quality - the best".

This cuvee consists of 50-55% Pinot Noir, 28-33% Chardonnay and 15-20% Meunier. The dominant grape variety gives this champagne strength and structure, while the Chardonnay lends it elegance, freshness and delicacy. The hint of Meunier enhances the wonderful fruity nuances.

The reserve wines contribute 30 to 45% to the blend, depending on the vintage. These come from up to 6 different harvests and are kept in individual containers per grape variety, per cru and per vintage.

This Yellow Label matures for 12 months in wooden barrels, which leads to the unique roundness of the Champagne. The champagne is bottled in bottles sealed with a natural cork and has a storage potential of around 3 years.
