Product Overview
The non-vintage Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the signature of Veuve Clicquot's quality and style, recreated every year thanks to a priceless collection of reserve wines. Its brilliant yellow label reflects the Champagne's bright personality and impeccable winemaking credentials. It manages to reconcile two opposing factors - strength and silkiness - and to hold them in perfect balance with aromatic intensity and a lot of freshness. Notes of yellow and white fruits, vanilla, and brioche lend consistent power to please, making it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.

"This fresh and balanced Champagne is lightly toasty, with snappy acidity and a lively, creamy mousse carrying flavors of white cherry, pickled ginger and Marcona almond. Offers saline-laced minerality. Drink now through 2021." -AN, 11/30/19

"(roughly 50% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay and 20% pinot meunier; Lot 14009913): Light gold. Musky orchard fruits and dried fig on the mineral-accented nose. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering smoky pear and nectarine flavors and a hint of honey. Finishes on a gently spicy note, with very good cling and a touch of bitter lemon pith. Things have definitely begun to turn around for this bottling, which had been lagging behind the winery's vintage offerings for some time." -JR, Dec/2013
89 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"This best-selling Champagne is getting slightly drier. This bottling also has touches of attractive toastiness that suggests some bottle age. Final acidity and white fruits keep the freshness." -RV, 12/31/19
