Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Yellow Label Brut

Decanter

Lemony richness on the nose, a struck match character that falls in with lemon vanilla note. Toffee apple allure on the palate with chalky coolness & savoury nutty finish.

The Real Review

Medium to light straw-yellow colour. Pronounced bready, cracked-yeast bouquet of charm and complexity. Creamy palate with excellent texture and softness, also richness and density, but lightness and elegance. Fills the mouth, and the senses. Fresh, lively acid, in harmony. Superb bubbly of great balance, poise and persistence. Archetypal Champagne. Can't remember when the Yellow Label impressed me so much

Bettane et Desseauve

This emblematic cuvée is back in the foreground, we feel that the work on the great pinots of the house and the wines of reserve bears fruits. Even more energy and intensity than usual, it’s superb

James Suckling

Attractive creamy pastry notes and pithy lemon citrus fruits on offer here. There's also a gently nutty edge of autolysis, all locked in nice and fresh here. The palate's bright, crisp and has attractive fresh lemon and peach-fruit flavours.

Jancis Robinson

Pale straw gold. Light, complex nose. Good savour. Some smokiness. Really neat and tight. Lots of potential. Some appley acidity and really clean on the end. Very complex on the end. Full of vitality. One of the most youthful wines in this dozen. Delicate bead.
