Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne
Crisp apple and citrus come through first, bright and clean, with brioche sitting underneath from time spent on the lees in bottle. Almond and a touch of vanilla fill out the middle weight, and a mineral edge keeps the finish dry rather than soft. It drinks the way a good Brut should: fresh, straightforward, easy to keep pouring.
The blend draws on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier, the three grapes of Champagne, and the result is balanced rather than showy. At 12% ABV it stays light on its feet through a long evening. Nothing here demands close study, though there is enough detail to reward it.
This is the 1.5 L magnum, which means one bottle covers a table of eight or ten with room for a second round. Chill it properly, well ahead of time, and pull it out when people arrive.
