winemaker's notes:

Number 25 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

Clicquot's signature non-vintage Brut is loved all over the world for its crisp, full flavors, consistent quality and celebratory yellow label. This classical dry Champagne is a blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, balanced with one-third Chardonnay for elegance. It has a fine persistent sparkle and golden Champagne color.

I would not buy this wine again

This review is obviouly reflective of my person palate. I have read the other reviews and can see some of the other descriptions as accurate but possibly a little over romanticized (which is fine because champagn is a romantic/in the moment type wine). My family had it on a Sunday afternoon for no special reason but to have a nice glass of champagne. This is a nice way to gage a wine because it is u and the wine...not New Years/Wedding/Anniversary. It is nutty and has a nice undertone of citrus (from what I could tell), but I thought it fell a little flat at the end and lacked the complexity & crispness I would expect frma decent bottle of champagne. Again, this is my experience, and I was a litte let down. I would recommend a Charles Heidsieck Brut or the ever dependable Moet & Chandon White Star as equal or leser price alternatives. Hope this helps!

wine.com Notes

One of the world’s favorite Champagnes. Rich, nutty, and complex non-vintage Brut.

From one of the most prestigious Champagne houses, this Brut is the gold standard for non-vintage Champagne year in and year out. Deliciously rich on the nose and palate, with almond croissant and suggestions of Calvados in the aroma and flavor. A fuller-bodied style, creamy and round, with a long, lingering nutty finish. The best Champagne in a recent tasting. Simply superb!

A Customer - Orono, Minnesota
We recently served Veuve Clicquot for our daughter's wedding, and found it to be the PERFECT champagne! It absolutely fills the mouth with the finest of bubbles, and was the clear winner in our wine tasting prior to the wedding, beating out more expensive champagnes. I enjoyed it from toasting 'till midnight, not wanting to switch to wine even with dinner. I've now got two bottles chilling in my refrigerator!

A Customer - Oregon
Wow! I received a bottle of Veuve Clicquote Yellow Label from a vendor as a New Year's gift. All I can say is, "I owe them big-time!" This is an absolutely wonderful champagne. I'll be buying a couple bottles and aging them for next year!

A Customer - California
LOVE IT, I LOVE this champagne. I would never drink any other champagne but Veuve. The aroma, texture, taste is absolutely exhilarating! I also love the fact that it is an affordable luxury. I can not rave enough about this champagne, its simply "perfect."

Nabbott@wine.com - San Francisco
Why pay more? This champagne has it all

A Customer - Port au Prince, Haiti
Drank this by the case for the holidays. LOVE IT! Agree with others that it should be the 'house champagne'. Highly reccommend.

plofgren@gac.edu - Princeton, MN
An absolute classic. This champagne has a reputation the world over for excellence, and it delivers in every sense. Tasting group did have one person who disliked it, but she didn't know the meaning of "Brut," and so her opinion that it was "too dry" is negligible. 90 out of 100.

A Customer - Albuquerque, New Mexico
Simply Superb! Excellent nose, tiny bubbles, wonderful as an aperitif, with desert, on a special occasision or even better, for no reason at all, except to enjoy and savor it. Oh, yes...excellent price point as well.

broker212@yahoo.com - N.Y.C., N.Y.
great stuff, big bang for your buck, clean taste, good texture, nice after taste keeps bringing you back for more. a favotite

A Customer - Tampa, Fl
I never pass up a chance to rave about Veuve (as I call it). We drink a bottle of champagne every Friday night and usually one during the weekend. Veuve is and always will be my favorite. We continue to try new and different champagnes monthly, and I consider myself very knowledgeable about the bubbly, and I can promise you, Veuve will never disappoint you. The only other suggestion I would have would be to try La Grande Dame, the most esquisite of all champagnes. Forget about Dom and Cristal, the Grand Lady is the best. Save it for something special. Serve it cold and often, that's my motto!

A Customer - Chicago, IL
My husband and I were turned onto this champagne a couple of years ago and have used it for every celebration--major or minor--ever since! I am not much of a champagne drinker, but I very much enjoy the refreshing, crisp flavor of Veuve.

Katwoman9@iwon.com - Aurora, Illinois
Veuve is a wonderful champagne that I first tasted last summer in Laguna Beach, California and I was hooked. I received a bottle as a gift from a very special friend and will savor every drop. There is a beautiful memory in every glass.

Should be your "house" or home CHOICE for CHAMPAGNE!!!

A Customer - a customer
this a true delicate wine. Fabulous, highly recommended

A Customer - Westchester, NY
You'll be hard pressed to find a champagne drinker who has been disappointed by Clicquot. The NV Brut or "yellow label" consistantly offers the best "bang for the buck." That is to say - at a very affordable $30-$35 a bottle, it's hands down the most pleasing choice of bubbly. **A tip to all - if you can muster the strength - let the bottle sit in a basement (or other dark, cool area) for 12-18 months (I realize this means planning ahead)... This champagne is infinitely improved with a little extra aging - it's easily twice as good a year later. You will NOT be disappointed.

A Customer - PALM SPRINGS CALIFORNIA
THIS IS VERY SMOOTH.LOVE TO SERVE IT AT HOME TO FRIENDS,OR BRING TO HOST OF PARTY.YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE EXTRA BOTTLES CHILLED BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO GO QUICKLY. ED TAGGART

tallmanmc@worldnet.att.net - LaGrange Il
I received a bottle from a gentleman as a gift. I was an instant convert! I frequently serve champagne with or instead of desert and Veuve is more interesting and complex than other higher priced wines. It is wonderful but alas the gentleman was not.

A Customer - Los Angeles, CA
This champange is simply the best. It's a sleeper that will wake you up and make you put down Moet and Cristal.

A Customer - Minneapolis, MN
Good smell, good taste. Lots of bubbles. Good overall flavor. It is a good champagne, but nothing fantastic for me. If you want a good champagne from france for decent price this is it, but if you are willing to pay more for better I would do that. Krug Grand Cuvee is fantastic. I'd give Veuve Clicquot a 90 rating.

unvldclaudia@hotmail.com - Midland, Texas
This champagne was a delight from first sip to last. The color is a fine gold and the bubbles so tiny and numerous, you'd think there was glitter in your glass. Palate and nose were both tickled. Can't say anything but good about this champagne!

A Customer - miami, florida
Delicious, classy and goes well with alot of foods. enjoy

A Customer - Seattle, WA
Just plain delicious. An old stand by for me. The perfect gift wine as it is quite affordable, yet distinctive. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't enjoy this one. Buy with confidence:)!!!

pgibson2005@gmail.com - Ohio
What can I say, but it is the best NV champagne on the market today that is all anyone needs to know!!

A Customer - Northern California
The gold standard of non-vintage champagnes.

A Customer - Clayton, Missouri
Hollor at Veuve I Love it

A Customer - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Living in Amsterdam is the opportunity to have a wide variety of options in eating and drinking some of the best that Europe has to offer. Veuve is the best by far. Whether the event is a major celebration, or a weekend at home, it clearly makes the time special. Smooth with full taste. The Best in Europe.

codyhoneycutt@hotmail.com - Colorado Springs, CO
An excellent choice...I purchased a bottle for New Year's Eve and I was not disappointed. Great taste, wonderful in all aspects. I would surely choose this over most other more expensive bottles. You can't go wrong. I will be getting some more for this New Year's celebration and it will be served at my wedding in the summer.

Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
