The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or spice note distinct. Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance. Notes by Veuve Clicquot
Initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche.
Delivers all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label with asymphony of fruit tastes following on.
Fresh, lively and ready to enjoy without any need for further cellaring. This is an aperitif style that could be served with a wide range of canapes. Try it with a platter of fresh Tassie oysters or just enjoy it on its own to savour its refreshing delicacy.
The emphasis is on the bright and lively aromas of ripe new seasons apples and a citrus fruit tang.
A well-balanced palate dominated by fresh, crunchy apple flavours, a touch of citrus and just a hint of yeasty complexity. It is lively and fresh in the mouth with a good persistence of flavour and a finish that is dry and refreshing.
A rose saign on the other hand, is made by directly macerating Pinot Noirs. This method of vinification is more demanding and requires grapes with an excellent degree of maturity. This is the real ros
A very bright colour provides loads of red fruit on the nose.
This is a powerful wine that flows onto the palate with an expression of bright red fruit. This compelling, totally seductive wine possesses awesome richness and vibrancy, with layers of aromas and flavors that continue to develop in the glass all the way through to the long, intensely satisfying finish.
As scarce as hens teeth, this is tailor made for the person who has everything. Pinot meunier (albeit as a junior partner) sits alongside the dominant pinot noir, with a lesser amount of chardonnay. It is an impossibly complex blend of aged reserve wines and base wine of the blending year. Bronze-salmon, it marries finesse with all the traditional Krug complexity: biscuit, red fruits and brioche, then a stupendously fine finish and aftertaste.

Wild strawberry and fresh backed bread
Fine and silky, with a perfect bead. Full of the typical Krug rich biscuity complexity but with a rare vivacity.
Classic aperitif and perfect with freshly shucked oysters.
Granny Smith apples, lemons, limes, grapefruit, a little honey and nice yeast autolysis fragrances of freshly baked bread or brioche.
Citrus flavours come through with touches of apple and poached pear. The wine has good weight, is focussed and seamless with a smooth, creamy texture and a long dry finish.
