Veuve Clic Ponsardin Yellow Label Brut Champagne 6 Ltr Methuselah

Product Description

The house of Veuve Clic is most famously known for their Brut Non Vintage Yellow Label champagne. It is a blend of different grape varieties with the prominent grape being Pinot Noir for the structure & Pinot Meunier to round the blend. They also add Chardonnay for the elegance & finesse that is essential in champagne. Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label. Traditionally the proportion of each grape variety used is; 50 to 55% Pinot Nori, 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier & 28 to 33% Chardonnay. The chef de Caves has to achieve the total consistency of taste, which makes Yellow Label so immediately recognisable & always reliable, both in terms of colour & quality. To make the blend consistent every year, he will draw on priceless reserve wines to give the blend its consistent flavour. On the eye, Yellow Label is a beautiful golden-yellow colour. When you take in the aroma you initially sense white fruits & raisins, then vanilla & later of brioche. On the palate you receive freshness & forcefulness that is so typical of Yellow label with a symphony of fruit taste following on.
