The making of the Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label champagne in half-bottle

The Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label in half-bottle reflects the expertise of the house in a more intimate format. It is a non-vintage cuvée, reflecting the unique know-how of Veuve Clicquot in blending. Mainly composed of pinot noir (50 to 55%), this grape variety brings structure and power to the wine, while the chardonnay (28 to 33%) adds finesse and elegance. Finally, the pinot meunier (15 to 20%) completes the ensemble by bringing fruit and roundness.

This champagne is made from the blending of 50 to 60 crus. The addition of reserve wines, which can represent up to 45% of the blend, gives the cuvée an aromatic depth and a continuity of style. These reserve wines come from vintages that are sometimes nearly 30 years old.

Aged for a minimum of 30 months in the cellar, the Yellow Label in half-bottle reaches optimal maturity. The dosage, at 9 g/L, perfectly balances the freshness and expressiveness of the wine.

The advantages of the half-bottle

The half-bottle format offers many advantages. First of all, it allows you to taste a great champagne in small quantities, perfect for a more intimate tasting moment. Ideal for tête-à-tête aperitifs or small celebrations, the half-bottle is also practical for those who want to discover a cuvée without opening a whole bottle. Moreover, thanks to its reduced size, the half-bottle cools down more quickly, thus offering an optimal tasting at any time.
