Golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Pleasing to the nose; initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla, and later of biscuits. A fine balance between the younger, fruity wines and the older, toasty wines, which makes up the final assembly. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors, forcefulness and finesse, and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please, makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.
