This is a great Champagne. If you can find it on sale you can still grab a bottle for less than $40. I would rank this is my top 5 champagnes and it's worth every dollar. You just can't compare a true french champagne to others....

This is not the best but it sure does look and taste that way. I bought a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow label while I was staying in a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. I bought the bottle outside of the hotel at a grocery store. I had heard so much about how smoooth and tastey Veuve Clic is while in the grocery store and my first thought was can I afford it? I didn't mention it, I just ask one of the sales associates to locate it for me and was surprised to see that the bottle was no more than fourty or fifty bucks. Thats a bargain considering the price of other brands that are well known. I returned to my hotel with the bottle in hand and this lady said to me,"Wow I love that stuff you have great taste. I normally dont care what people think but because I was so skeptical at first that was all I needed. I drink with a smile....

Consistently wonderful champagne!

Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, Veuve Clicquot (pronounced vuhv klee-KOH) played an important role in establishing champagne as the beverage of choice of European nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie.

The champagne: A firm, structured wine, which reveals substance and great finesse.
Pale in color, with a strong influence of red fruit in the aromas, this is blended to a rich style. The texture is plush, the fruit sweet yet balanced by a robust architecture...

Search4Au says "Crisp, full flavored with a persistent sparkle and complex nose." about Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne

Clicquot's "Yellow Label" is a brut, non-vintage champagne. It is crisp, full flavored, and exhibits consistently high quality. This is is a traditional, classically-styled, dry French Champagne blended from two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, contrasted against one-third Chardonnay. "Yellow Label" has a fine persistent sparkle and golden color, with a complex nose of apple, citrus and caramel. On the pallette, expect full, crisp flavors with slightly spicy finish....

princesspk13 says "A classic!" about Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne

You cannot go wrong when purchasing a bottle of Veuve Cliquot Champagne. Typically a bottle is about $30-$40 which is why I drink it only once a year for NYE. The taste is dry but not too dry and sweet but not sickly sweet. It is perfect. If you are looking to impress a date or your sweetheart's parents this will do the trick....

Veuve Clicquot is one of the better champagnes out there. It is consistently good, with a creamy, yeasty flavor that all bubblys from the Champagne region are known for. Some California sparklers are very good, but for some reason they are never as good as Champagne....

lesleylane says "One of the best Champanges around." about Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne

lesleylane — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 00:58:32 GMT

Anyone who enjoys the french champagne making method will love this champange. I always keep a bottle on hand for a special occasion. The Napa sparkling wines come close, but there is nothing like the real thing. And if you go to duty free you can get a decent deal. I usually wait for a sale at the wine store and then stock up.

Jolie says "Great champagne without breaking the bank!" about Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne

Jolie — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 06:26:55 GMT

Veuve Clicquot is one my favorite champagne makers. I first had the champagne a few years ago and since I have no desire to drink other champagne. In fact, on a few occassions, I had the option of the $50 Veuve bottle and the $120+ Dom bottle and I took the Veuve every time!

Veuve makes a series of different labels- yellow, orange-- and some are slightly sweeter than others. While I personally tend toward the sweet, I am never disappointed by any of their champagnes. They simply nail it every time. They have a beliver in me.

Veuve Clicquot is full body with crisp and consistent quality. According to the description, it is a classic dry champagne made from a blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, balanced with one-third Chardonnay for elegance.

You are sure to not be disappointed by the Veuve. It is a champagne classic that will never disappoint. Wine News and Wine & Spirits both rate it over 90.
