Veuve Clicqout Yellow Label Brut NV

Madame Clicquot’s wine displays a superb marriage of freshness and power, gorgeous and deceptively pale colour with fine, persistent bubbles – a poised, delicately bready nose – and on the palate a richness of fruit and mouth-filling mousse that lingers long. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors – forcefulness and finesse – and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.
