Blend and Origin
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Non Vintage
This signature champagne gains its structure from the predominant presence of pinot noir (50-55%), roundness from meunier (15-20%) and elegance from chardonnay (28-33%). The grapes are sourced from 50 to 60 crus, and the blend comprises 30-45% reserve wines that have been aged up to 15 years.
