Yellow Label Saint Petersbourg 75cl

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the symbol of the House's art of blending, it defines the House style through a perfect balance of strength, aromatic intensity, freshness, and silkiness. Created in 1877, more than 140 years ago, the iconic yellow label – now one of the most recognizable colors in Champagne - continues to represent both the House's heritage and its daring audacity. The Brut Yellow Label reflects the superb vineyards owned by the House, as well as its consistent style. The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse that is essential in a perfectly balanced wine. Cuvée Saint Petersbourg is a tribute to the daring decision of Madame Clicquot to ship over 10,000 bottles of her famous Champagne to Saint Petersbourg in 1814, defying Napoleon’s trade embargo. Her efforts paid off and her champagne received a triumphant welcome in Russia. Elegant and fine, this remarkable Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier blend is incredibly soft and offers a wonderful drinking experience. Bright straw yellow in color with fine, persistent perlage, it is dominated by alluring aromas of dried fruit, brioche, almond and sweet spices on the nose. the palate is harmonious, round and soft with fine texture, a lovely vein of acidity and a lingering finish.
