Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne 375mL
12% ABV | 375mL (demi-bouteille) | Brut NV | 50% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay | 9 g/L dosage | Reims, France — the Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label in the 375mL half-bottle is the world's most recognized champagne in the perfect two-glass format: the same Pinot Noir-led non-vintage blend — up to 45% reserve wines, three years on lees — as the full bottle, in a demi-bouteille built for weeknights, picnics and gifts. From the Reims maison founded in 1772 — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Yellow Label's fame rests on consistency: Madame Clicquot's house style — Pinot Noir structure first, fruit and freshness always — reproduced vintage after vintage from one of Champagne's deepest reserve-wine libraries. The 375mL half-bottle is a standard maison format, not a novelty: same blend, same 9 g/L brut dosage, same three years of lees aging, in the size that needs no occasion. Among wines for gifting, the half-bottle Yellow Label is the safe, correct, beloved choice.
Tasting notes
Official maison notes: the Pinot Noir dominance gives structure and depth — white fruits and citrus up front, brioche and vanilla from the lees aging, a fine, persistent bead and a fresh, balanced brut finish. The half-bottle matures slightly faster than the 750mL, so it often shows a touch more toast and roundness — a feature, not a flaw.
