Veuve Clicquot Magnum 1.5L
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is a much loved Non-Vintage Champagne and it owes its superior richness and depth to a high proportion of Pinot Noir in the blend. The composition is 50-55% Pinot Noir, 15-20% Pinot Meunier and 28-33% Chardonnay. The proportions vary from year to year depending on the quality and selection available from vintage wines. A good proportion of aged reserve wines are also in the blend and these are chosen to add complexity with appoximately 25-40% ending up in the final seletion. This is a magnum (1.5L) size bottle.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche. |
Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Flavour | 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 a symphony of fruit tastes following on. |
