    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Veuve Clicquot, Yellow Label, Brut, NV
    ABV:
    12%
    90/100
    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    (roughly 50% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay and 20% pinot meunier; Lot 14009913): Light gold. Musky orchard fruits and dried fig on the mineral-accented nose. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering smoky pear and nectarine flavors and a hint of honey. Finishes on a gently spicy note, with very good cling and a touch of bitter lemon pith. Things have definitely begun to turn around for this bottling, which had been lagging behind the winery's vintage offerings for some time.

    Veuve Clicquot

    A Champagne house that needs little introduction.

    Nicole Barbe Ponsardin, the widow or veuve as it is in French, took over the house at the tender age of 27. Her resolve ensured Veuve was shipped to Russia disguised in coffee barrels and is renowned for establishing the now common-place riddling process, or remuage, used today.

    Pinot Noir grapes from Bouzy, produces wines of supple finesse, elegance and drinkability.
