Brut Yellow Label | Range | Veuve Clicquot – LVMH

The champagne house was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, a fabric merchant in Reims. When his son, François Clicquot, died suddenly in 1805, François’s 27-year-old widow, Barbe Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot, took over the company – no small feat for this bold and audacious 19th-century woman. At a time when women had few rights, this young woman was determined “to depend on no one”. Driven by her uncompromising vision and her inventive spirit, Madame Clicquot created the first known vintage champagne in 1810. A few years later, in 1816, she developed the riddling table, and in 1818 produced the first known blended rosé champagne.

Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label. This cuvée is the result of a blending of grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus, and, is composed of up to 45% reserve wines. The Pinot Noir predominance provides its strength, while Chardonnay provides its freshness and a touch of Meunier its fruitiness. The ageing on lees during a minimum of 3 years enhances its aromatic richness and silky texture.
