Product Details
This methuselah showcases Yellow Label’s signature fresh and fruity character, with aromatic intensity and strength coming from the predominance of pinot noir and use of high quality reserve wines in the blend. Originally created for a British market that desired “dry” wines, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label was trademarked in 1877 and has been used to toast events large and small ever since. -
