Typically comprises 50-55% Pinot Noir, 15-20% Pinot Meunier and 28-33% Chardonnay. A high proportion of priceless reserve wines (between 24 to 40% ensures the continuity of the House style.
The dominance of Pinot Noir grapes gives Yellow Label its strong structure, while a touch of Pinot Meunier adds to its roundness, leaving Chardonnay to provide the finesse it needs for perfect balance. Assembled from about 50 crus and carefully stocked réserve wines, this provides the wine with its inimitable Clicquot style.
Winemaker's Comments
The strength of this golden wine is immediately pleasing to the nose, while its complexity explodes on the palate. Initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla when the wine is allowed to age in the bottle. A perfect balance of finesse and forcefulness.
