Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne NV 1.5L

This harmonious Champagne is appealing for its refreshing, aperitif style, yet theres greater focus than is typical for an aperitif to the notes of patisserie apple and pear, lemon parfait, chopped almond and oyster shell. Its vibrant acidity and lacy texture carry the profile on the mineral-driven finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now.

Tasted from magnum, the silver/straw-colored NV Champagne Yellow Label Brut has an assertive and expressive nose with flinty notes of apricot and toast that lift from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it’s juicy and inviting on the palate, with a silky texture, a rounded feel, a very fine, pinpoint mousse, and a rather long finish. it is quite pleasing out of magnum, which is kept five years rather than three.
