Winemakers 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 read more...balanced wine.
THE BLEND
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, 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.
SENSORY 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.

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.

Nick's Pick! - Reliable and consistent, opens with understated apple and citrus components, then becomes buttery and nutty on the mid palate and finishes with a lingering air reminscent of brioche. - Nick's Notes - 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.

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.

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)

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.
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 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
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.
