Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin - Yellow label



Veuve Clicquot 'Yellow Label' Brut Non-Vintage Champagne. This label has earned its reputation for being best in class and is probably the most popular gift Champagne.
Veuve (widow) Clicquot became famous for shipping champagne to Russia in 1814 in defiance of the blockade of Napoleon.
Gold in color, crisp and dry, with a fine, persistent sparkle. It is a classically styled blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and one-third Chardonnay. Its complex nose of apple, citrus and caramel is followed by rich flavors of citrus, hazelnut and baked bread, with a crisp, spicy finish.
