Limited Edition release of a Gouache shape tube resembling an artists paint tube. Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label manages to reconcile two sing 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. Golden yellow with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles, with initial reminiscences of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche. With all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label, here is a true member of the powerful Brut family. Well structured, admirably vinous with lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or spice note distinct. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label blends 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance 50-55% provides the structure that is typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay 28-33% adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier 15-20% rounds out the blend. The long ageing in our Crayères (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne. In 1772, Philippe Clicquot founded a wine-making business under the name Clicquot. In 1798, his son François, who had taken over the family enterprise, married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin. At the time of François' death in 1805, the young 27-year-old widow decided to continue her husband’s legacy. A woman of vision, she became the driving force behind the prestige and success of the brand, which in 1810 was renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin. Ever in pursuit of excellence and innovation, in 1816 Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table with the of obtaining clarified Champagnes of unrivalled quality. She became known as the "Grand Dame of Champagne", in re of her audacity and determination. Row by row, Madame Clicquot used her skills to develop an exceptional wine-growing territory.
