Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label NV (1.5L)

92 JS / 91 WS / 90 VM / 90 WE

One of the most appealing all-rounders in the NV stakes, this has plenty of toasty warmth on the nose with grilled berries and peaches, as well as citrus and gentle woody spices. The palate delivers bold citrus flavors, with light berry notes to finish. Drink now. - James Suckling

A smoky note of roasted nut is subtly woven with the baked apple, lemon meringue and fennel seed flavors in this vibrant Champagne, with a refined, creamy mousse. Drink now through 2020. Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

Light gold. Musky orchard fruits and dried fig on the mineral-accented nose. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering smoky pear and nectarine flavors and a hint of honey. Finishes on a gently spicy note, with very good cling and a touch of bitter lemon pith. Things have definitely begun to turn around for this bottling, which had been lagging behind the winery's vintage offerings for some time. Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

One of the most familiar of Champagnes, the Yellow Label is finely madea fruity while structured wine. It has both fresh and fragrant fruit as well as richness, a soft, creamy texture and bright acidity. There is no sense in bottle aging heredrink this wine because of its crispness.
