The Yellow Label Standard
Yellow Label is the balance the whole house is built around: Pinot Noir for structure, a serious reserve-wine programme — hundreds of reserve wines, some aged up to thirty years — for depth and consistency, and that unmistakable yellow label that has carried the cuvee since the 19th century. The house gives its ageing potential as three to five years and a serve of 8–10°C. Explore the range on the Veuve Clicquot vendor page or browse more Champagne and sparkling wine.
Tasting Notes
From the producer: brilliant golden-yellow with fine, persistent bubbles; pear, apple and peach with mandarin and grapefruit citrus and brioche; a palate structured by Pinot Noir with pastry and dried-fruit notes from the ageing.
How to Enjoy
Serve at 8–10°C as an aperitif or with seafood, hard cheeses and gougeres — the structure that makes it a celebration bottle also makes it a table wine.
