A champagne House is eventually judged on the quality of its Brut Non Vintage. The Brut Yellow Label reflects the superb vineyards owned and the consistent nature of the House style.
The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot,
while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance
and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.

The blend conatins
Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus .
Traditionally, the proportion of each grape variety used is :
· 50 to 55% Pinot Noir
· 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier
· 28 to 33% Chardonnay
These figures vary slightly from year to year according to conditions. The Chef de
Caves has to achieve the total consistency of taste, which makes Yellow Label so
immediately recognisable, so utterly reliable both in terms of quality, colour and
bouquet.
He can draw on priceless Reserve wines for the blend: from 25 to 35%, sometimes
as much as 40% to ensure the continuity of the House style. Each of these older wines

(perhaps 9 years old ) is kept separately to preserve the unique qualities of the vineyard and the vintage.

First, Yellow Label looks beautiful: goldenyellow,
with tiny bubbles. Next the nose is initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche, and the toasty aromas following the ageing
in the bottle.
