Peak’s Selection: Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label

Year: 2017

Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, this French Champagne house based in Reims – is one of the largest champagne houses in the world. Wife of Philippe, also known as “Grande Dame of Champagne” – Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin (Madame Clicquot) developed the riddling table process and created the first known vintage champagne in 1810.

The glowing yellow label from Veuve Clicquot Brut was first introduced in 2017. The champagne has plenty of deep-set aromatic complexity – including toasted almond, citrus blossom, honey, and dried spices intertwined. It offers a perfect balance of structure and subtlety while delivering a lot of freshness with aromatic intensity.

Tasting Notes: Full-bodied and fresh with lemony richness. Pear and peach notes offer a fruity balance. On the palate, be surprised by a toffee apple allure with subtle notes of white peach, fennel, biscuits, and kumquat.
