Description
The VC brand ambassador, the NV Brut Yellow Label (an assemblage of 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier) is currently based on the 2012 vintage and contains 35% reserve wines. On the nose, ripe and intense (yellow-fleshed) fruit aromas intermix with a very nice maturity from the reserve wines. Disgorged in January 2015 with a dosage of nine grams, this is a medium-bodied, yet round and full-flavored Brut. It possesses biscuit and nutty flavors, and a nice freshness and complexity in the intense, aromatic finish. Indeed, this is very delicate and impressively good.

Tasting note
這款香檳是由霞多麗、黑皮諾和美樂葡萄品種混釀而成，以其清脆、乾燥的風味和細膩的氣泡而聞名。香氣和風味包括柑橘、青蘋果和烤麵包。混釀中包含30-45%的儲藏酒，葡萄來自多達50到60個不同的葡萄園。黑皮諾的主導地位（50-55%）提供了如此典型的凱歌結構，而霞多麗（28-33%）增加了完美平衡酒的優雅和細膩，美樂的一點點（15-20%）圓滿了混釀。在我們的Crayères中長時間的陳年（黃標至少3年）給香檳帶來了絲滑。
This champagne is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grape varieties, noted for its crisp, dry flavor and delicate bubbles. Aromas and flavors include citrus, green apple, and toast. The blend contains 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend. The long aging in our Crayères (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne.
