Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne

Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne is the ultimate symbol of celebration — a golden icon of craftsmanship, precision and joie de vivre. First created in 1772 and perfected under the visionary Madame Clicquot, Yellow Label remains one of the world’s most recognisable champagnes: rich, refined, and eternally stylish.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Brilliant golden yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of ripe pear, peach and citrus intertwine with hints of brioche, almond and light spice. On the palate, the wine is structured and balanced, offering creamy texture, fresh acidity, and subtle toastiness. Pinot Noir delivers body and power, Chardonnay elegance and lift, and Meunier supple fruit. A hallmark of finesse and consistency.

Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot’s modern identity was shaped by Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, one of history’s most pioneering entrepreneurs. Her innovations — the riddling table, the first blended Rosé, and the first vintage Champagne — transformed the industry forever. Today, the house blends over 400 reserve wines aged in centuries-old chalk cellars beneath Reims, ensuring flawless consistency and richness. Each bottle embodies Madame Clicquot’s motto: “Only one quality, the finest.”

Special Features

Up to 45% reserve wines are used in the Yellow Label blend, delivering the distinctive Veuve Clicquot structure and silkiness. Its grapes come from 390 hectares of estate vineyards — 86% classified Grand or Premier Cru — with an additional 400 partner growers. Long lees ageing enhances the wine’s creamy mousse and signature toasted-brioche complexity.
