With a slightly cheesy note on the nose that, along with the patissiere tones, recalls cheese Danish this offers good complexity with ample yellow fruit and floral tones. Classic Veuve on the palate, a touch sweet, soft, caressing and easy with plenty of yellow fruit in a somewhat simple package. 88pts

A good quality Champagne... but don't get caught in the marketing hype. Sometimes it can be extremely yeasty on the nose and palate. I prefer the French-market version, which you can find in magnums here in the US.

Rather nutty and slighty yeasty nose. I'm not a real Champagne fan, but this is one of my favorites - not too much yeast and not too acidic. I like it.

Acidic and fruity. Decent bubbles, but very soft.

Very nice brioche toast nose. Bright and lively dry fruits on the mouth, and green apple notes on the medium finish.

This is a great Aperitif Champagne - not too rich and yeasty, but elegant, crisp and citrusy, wonderful with fried foods!

Good champagne, if you can find it at a good price. I wouldn't pay $42/bottle for it.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut NV Champagne 3 Liter. Clicquot's signature non-vintage Brut is loved all over the world for its crisp, full flavors, consistent quality and celebratory yellow label. This classical dry Champagne is a blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, balanced with one-third Chardonnay for elegance. It has a fine persistent sparkle and golden Champagne color.

Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec is creamy, with a touch of sweetness. Veuve Clicquot's Demi-Sec (the classic accompaniment to dessert) is equally pleasing as an apTritif. This stylish blend is evocative of the wine Madame Clicquot herself produced in

Cliquot’s signature Brut non-vintage is loved the world over for its crisp full flavors consistent quality and celebratory yellow label. Complex and intense nose of apple citrus and caramel balance elegantly with a spicy lingering aftertaste and a fine persistent sparkle. This classically styled dry champagne is excellent with food and also as an apèritif.

Bright yellow-gold. Poached pear and candied citrus fruits on the nose which shows notes of spun sugar and toffee. Sweet orchard and pit fruit flavors are slightly cloying and loose-knit with slow-mounting spiciness. Finishes on a warm note with decent length and a suggestion of candied orange.

The NV Brut offers up attractive notes of smoke tar rich ripe pears and flowers in a medium to full-bodied style. There is a good measure of persistence although the wine could use a little more polish on the finish. This is Lot 14009913 disgorged between December 2007 and January 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008–2010.

Winemaker's Notes:

A champagne House is eventually judged on the quality of its Brut non vintage. It is in the making of such a wine that the true Art of Champagne blending reveals itself. This is an art in which the House of Veuve Clicquot excels. Our Brut Yellow Label reflects the superb vineyards we own and the consistent nature of our House style. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.

Tasting Notes:

The first sip delivers all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label with asymphony of fruit tastes following on. Here is a true member of the powerful Brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or spice note distinct. Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.
