Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Yellow Label Brut NV

The classic big, full-bodied, non-vintage Champagne. Cheers!

Enjoyable champagne. Not too dry, and flavorful.

July 2007

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.

August 2007

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

September 2007

This is an excellent, not too expensive, champagne to indulge yourself. I find it not as acid-y as you often find other brands. Very good with fruit--especially apples or berries. And just enough bubbles, not too much.

January 2008

Acidic and fruity. Decent bubbles, but very soft.

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Quite a complex nose. Full yet delicate. Lively and quite meaty and interesting. Note that Majestic in the UK have a special offer of this wine at just £19.99 a bottle for two weeks starting today 18 oct 05.

Dependable but generally not spectacular, this champagne appeals to a wide audience with it's "up the fairway" taste. A solid fallback when you are looking for a label you recognize and an easy choice when you're bringing a bottle for someone as a gift.

The standard-bearer, which, for many people, defines the classic taste of Champagne. Rich, round, lemony fruit fills the mouth, and there is a refreshing, lightly bitter, yeasty finish of citrus rind.

September 2009

Perfumed scents of lemon curd, white peach, brioche and white flowers. Silky flavors of apple, pear and flint have exquisite balance. Tart close shows lots of citrus.

The non-vintage Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne is round ripe and lemony; tasty fruity and approachable.

October 2009

Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label is a perfect example of harmony between delicacy and power. Dominated by Pinot Noir, this wine has a firm structure, rounded with a touch of Pinot Meunier. Nearly a third of Chardonnay gives it the elegance and finesse needed for perfect balance. A blend of fifty crus, mainly Grands and Premiers Crus. Consistent quality due to 25 to 35% of reserve wines.

Note : Only available in 7 to 14 days from date of order. Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec is perhaps the House's most "classical " champagne from the close of the last century through to the early 1900s- there was a definitive preference for sweeter champagnes. As with all blends of Veuve Clicquot- the Demi-Sec is based on a preponderance of Pinot Noir- which gives Champagne its fundamental structure. The desire for very distinct fruit favours in the blend indicated a higher level of Pinot Meunier than would be found in- for example- Brut Yellow Label. Chardonnay completes the blend- read more...contributing its special freshness and delicacy. The blend No fewer than 50 individual wines make up this cuvée. The traditional proportions for Demi-Sec are: - 40 to 45 % Pinot Noir - 30 to 35 % Pinot Meunier - 20 to 25 % Chardonnay The inclusion of 20 to 30 % of reserve wines ensures the consistency of the Veuve Clicquot style. These wines are kept apart- each one cellared individually- as befits its origin and age. The level of dosage - 45 g/l decided at the moment of dégorgement - results in a sweeter balance of flavours- while preserving the wine's inherent freshness. On the senses A fine- even effervescence greets the eye- the wine being a beautiful yellow with deep golden highlights. On the nose- it is rich in the scents of ripe fruit (candied fruits- berry liquor)- with hints of toasts and brioche. In the mouth- the wine displays both roundness and mellowness- combined with a delightful freshness due to its gentle acidity. The aromas of ripe fruit are very noticeable. With its equilibrium tending towards sweetness and fruited flavours- Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec goes particularly well with those desserts which have a fruit base: pear tarts- gratin aux agrumes- charlotte aux abricots. But equally- îles flottantes- crêpes Suzette- crème brûlée- nougat glacé- or France's traditional Twelfth Night cake- are perfect partners for this great Champagne. After additional cellaring (two to three years- or even more in the right conditions)- Demi-Sec develops yet richer notes of praline or toasts. It is then ideal with caramel- or praline-based desserts: Paris-Brest- tarte Tatin- pears with caramel etc... Do not hesitate to serve Demi-Sec from a carafe- as they did in Madame Clicquot's time. A few minutes in a previously chilled carafe will allow the wine to show off its rounded flavour- and all the splendour of its golden hue. Veuve Clicquot Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron- Veuve Clicquot played a very important role in establishing champagne as the beverage of choice among European nobility. Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin - a champagne house in Reims- France is easily recognised by its bright yellow bottle labels. Veuve Clicquot has been part of the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy group of luxury brands since 1987.    (hide)

document.getElementById("NoProductImage").innerHTML = ""; Note : Only available in 7 to 14 days from date of order. Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Brut Yellow Label. Traditionally- the proportion of each grape variety used is: · 50 to 55% Pinot Noir · 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier · 28 to 33% Chardonnay These figures vary slightly from year to year according to conditions. The Cellar Master has to achieve the total consistency of taste- which makes Brut Yellow Label so immediately recognisable- so utterly reliable both in terms of quality- read more...colour and bouquet. He will draw on priceless reserve wines for the blend: from 25 to 35%- sometimes as much as 40% to ensure the continuity of the House style. Each of these older wines - perhaps nine years old - is kept separately to preserve the unique qualities of the vineyard and the vintage. Sensoru characteristics First- Brut Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow- with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Next it is so pleasing to the nose: initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins- then of vanilla and later of brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas following the ageing in the bottle. 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.Notes by VeuveVeuve Clicquot Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron- Veuve Clicquot played a very important role in establishing champagne as the beverage of choice among European nobility.

Try this Champagne blind against a sample of the other brands we stock and see for yourself what you prefer. A dry Champagne with brioche and baked apple aromas.

Rating: 85/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 111, November/December 2003 ($50) Apple and pear aromas lifted by a spicy gingery quality. Spicy but rather disjointed, with orange, melon and tropical fruit hints and a seemingly full dosage that does not quite cover suggestions of underripe fruit. Combines some unabsorbed acidity with a slightly cloying finish.

A very good Champagne that won't fail to please. The Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut Yellow Label is blended with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir almost half and half with only a touch of Pinot Meunier. This mix is very classical with a good amount of Chardonnay in it (of which I am a big fan of). For Champagnes in the same price range however, I prefer the Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial. Although the Brut Impérial has very little Chardonnay in it, I enjoy the emphasis on the flavour of Pinot Meunier that sets Champagnes apart from other sparkling wines.

August 2007

I love this champagne and its a shame that ever since the president of Veuve North America published the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" the price of this drinkable champagne has gone from an average $40 to an average $55. Its a GREAT $40 bottle of champagne but an average $55 bottle.

January 2008

The Champagne produced today by Veuve Clicquot still lives up to the high standards set by Madame Clicquot, a young widow (veuve in French) who took over her late husbands estate at the beginning of the 19th century. It was Madame Clicquot who developed the important riddling procedure for Champagne--a way to remove dead yeast cells from bottles.

I think it is overrated for the money it costs. Not a fan.
