NV Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne

Golden, lively, instantly recognizable. Veuve Clicquot Brut “Yellow Label” blends 50–60 crus and a deep library of reserve wines to deliver consistency and class in every bottle. Reserve components (25–40%) add dimension, while three years on lees shape fine bubbles and a creamy, pastry-tinged core that never feels heavy. Dosage sits around 9–10 g/L, keeping the finish crisp and dry.

Nose: Green apple, pear, and citrus peel over brioche, almond, and a subtle chalky note; precise and inviting.

Palate: Fresh orchard fruit meets toast and cream; the mousse is fine, the structure balanced, and the texture silky from extended lees aging.

Finish: Clean, persistent, and mineral-laced, echoing citrus oil, pastry, and a gentle saline snap.

Oysters, caviar, and sashimi shine.

Try butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with morels, or triple-crème cheeses; the wine’s acidity and brioche notes flatter richness beautifully
