Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label (6L, 12%)

A non-vintage Champagne blending Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier from premier Champagne vineyards. The house sources fruit from vineyards spanning the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne sub-regions. The blend is built around 50–55% Pinot Noir, 28–33% Chardonnay and 15–20% Pinot Meunier, produced via méthode champenoise with secondary fermentation in bottle. Up to 45% reserve wine, from a library of roughly 400 wines aged up to 30 years, is folded into each blend. The nose opens with yellow and white fruits, ripe pear and apple, then vanilla, freshly baked brioche and hazelnut. The palate is bright and assertive, led by crisp green apple and lemon zest, broadening into toasted brioche and almond with a fine mineral streak. The finish is smooth and elegantly dry, with lingering citrus peel and a creamy, pastry-like quality.
