Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Travel Magnet Champagne, 75 cl

More great presentation from Veuve Clicquot- this time it’s one for those with Travel in mind. Paris is not the only destination! The nose provides vibrant notes of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche. The first sip delivers all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label followed by a symphony of fruit tastes. Here is a true member of the powerful Brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. One of the 17 Grande Marque Houses from Champagne. Dating back to 1772 the house has a rich and varied history. ‘Veuve’ translates as widow and is a reference to Barbe Nicole Ponsardin who ran the company from a very young age due to her husband’s sad and untimely death in his early twenties. A woman running a business in the early 19th Century was rare indeed, but Barbe Nicole did not let that get in her way, going on to become a highly influential character in the Champagne region. Veuve Clicquot at play!
