The story of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin 'Yellow Label' Brut is as vibrant and enduring as the Champagne itself. At its heart is Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, the pioneering “grande dame of Champagne,” who, widowed at 27, defied convention to transform her father-in-law’s 1772-founded house into a global symbol of innovation and excellence. From introducing the first known vintage Champagne to inventing the riddling table and blending the first rosé Champagne, her legacy still defines the brand today.

Sensory Description:

In the glass, the wine shines with a golden hue animated by a stream of fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas unfold in generous layers: orchard fruits of pear, apple, and peach are enlivened by mandarin and grapefruit zest, while undertones of brioche, croissant, and dried fruits add richness and depth. On the palate, Yellow Label is both fresh and structured, delivering balance between power, elegance, and aromatic complexity. Its silky texture and long finish embody the signature style that has made Veuve Clicquot one of the most recognizable Champagnes in the world.
