Expert Reviews

Veuve is in great shape. It's the ultimate `big house` classic: showy, with plenty of power and intensity. There are gently herb-tinged aromas, some white flowers, citrus and intense chalkiness. The palate delivers assertive vinous Veuve power, plenty of weight and richness, brisk acid and a firm tannin finish. Consistently brilliant. Rating 92 - Nick Stock, Good wine Guide 2012

Tightly knit, focused by racy acidity and streak of minerality, this offers subtle notes of white peach, anise, biscuit and kumquat. The refined finish echoes a smoky note. Drink now through 2022Rating 92 - Wine Spectator DEC 2022

The fleshiness of pinot noir defines this clean, fresh, primary and fruit-driven style of yellow plums and citrus, with a fine bead and good persistence. A sweet dosage leaves it a touch candied.Rating 91 - Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide 2012 - 2013

Winery Tasting Notes

Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus are used for the blending of Yellow Label. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the core structure of Clicquot, while a touch of Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential to a perfectly balanced wine.

Appearance

Golden yellow, tiny bubbles

Aroma

Yellow and white fruits, vanilla and toast.

Palate

Tightly knit, focused by robust acidity and a streak of minerality, this offers subtle notes of white peach, anise, biscuit and kumquat. The refined finish echoes a smoky note. Drink now through 2022.

Winery Profile

Champagne house as famous for its eponymous founder, the first great champagne widow (veuve in French), as for its wines. Nicole Barbe Ponsardin (1777–1866) married François Clicquot, an owner of Champagne vineyards, in 1798. The wedding took place in a Champagne cellar as churches were not yet reconsecrated following the French Revolution. François Clicquot died in 1805, leaving Mme Clicquot in charge of the company, which she renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin. The widow steered the house carefully through the turbulent years of the First and Second Empires, defying Napoleon's blockades to ship the wine to Russia, and finding an export market in virtually every European court. 'La Grande Dame' is credited with inventing the riddling process called remuage, and adapting a piece of her own furniture into the first riddling table for that purpose. She devised the famous yellow label, still used for the non-vintage wine. On her death, the company passed to her former chief partner, another shrewd businessman, Édouard Werlé, and the house remained in the hands of the Werlé family until in 1987 it became part of the Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton group. The house style is based on Pinot Noir grapes and, in particular, those grown at Bouzy, where the house has large holdings. La Grande Dame is Clicquot's prestige cuvée, named, of course, after the widow. In 1990, the Champagne house purchased a majority stake in the western australian winery Cape Mentelle and its New Zealand subsidiary cloudy bay, completing the purchase in 2000.
