12.5% Vol
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.

FAQs
Non vintage Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label has an optimal drinking window of two to four years from purchase when stored correctly. Once opened, a Champagne stopper and refrigeration will maintain reasonable effervescence and quality for two to three days. The wine does not become unsafe after its optimal window, but the autolytic complexity and dosage balance will diminish. Vintage Veuve Clicquot and La Grande Dame can develop productively for fifteen to thirty years under ideal cellar conditions.
Non vintage Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label should be consumed within two to four years of purchase for optimal drinking quality. Vintage expressions and La Grande Dame, stored in a stable cool cellar at 10 to 12 degrees Celsius away from light and vibration, can develop productively for ten to thirty years. Once opened, quality deteriorates within two to three days regardless of storage method. Veuve Clicquot's disgorgement date, printed on back labels since 2016, is the most reliable guide to optimal drinking timing.
