Description
Yellow Label is the iconic non-vintage champagne of this famous French house. It defines the house style. This is the 375mL half bottle. It is the perfect size for two people, or for a treat on your own. It comes only from the Champagne region of France. It is made by the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle. As a non-vintage blend, it mixes wines from the latest harvest with up to 45% reserve wines. Reserve wines are older wines kept back from past years. They keep the taste consistent and complex year after year.
This Brut Champagne is dry, with a fine balance of fruit and freshness. The blend is led by Pinot Noir, which gives structure and strength. Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse. Pinot Meunier brings a touch of fruit and roundness. Its golden-yellow color and fine, lasting bubbles make it easy to spot.
On the nose, look for pear and apple, then vanilla and toasted brioche. A light almond note sits underneath. The palate is crisp yet creamy. Freshness and intensity stay in balance through a long finish. It rests on its lees (spent yeast) for about three years. This adds depth and texture. It makes a lovely aperitif. It also pairs well with oysters, sushi, seafood, poultry and light appetizers.
