Description
A gift of distinction, this two bottle champagne set showcases the signature Brut from Veuve Clicquot and the world-renowned Rosé from Laurent-Perrier. Together, they represent the pinnacle of French champagne artistry; structured, expressive, and endlessly celebratory.
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the signature champagne of the House. Dominated by Pinot Noir, it offers the perfect balance of structure and finesse. Golden-yellow in color, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. It is pleasing to the nose; initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then of vanilla and later brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty notes, the result of the three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit following (pear, lemon). It is a true member of the Brut family, well-structured, admirably vinous.
Cuvée Rosé from Laurent-Perrier is the most recognized luxury Rosé champagne in the world. The innovative House uses its proprietary 48 to 72-hour maceration technique, with the goal of achieving their specific oenological profile. Since 1968, when Laurent-Perrier reintroduced the art of non-vintage Rosé, Cuvée Rosé has been widely acknowledged for its consistent high quality and iconic bottle shape, and to this day it is the benchmark for rosé champagne around the world.
Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with wines of equal or greater value.

Tasting Panel
Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose: Generosity no less than grace defines this 100% Pinot Noir from ten different crus primarily in the Montagne de Reims. Slightly coppery salmon-pink in the glass, it displays a radiant nose of ripe red berries that pop against glimmers of spiced biscotti and roasted cashew. On a broad palate of pure silk, raspberry and black cherry are underlined by blood-orange rind and crushed rock before a long, almost voluptuous finish that's slightly savory with dried mint.

Wine Enthusiast
Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose: A finely textured rosé Champagne, this wine is rich yet with a fine dry core. It is 100% Pinot Noir, structured with acidity as well as red fruits.

Tasting Panel
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut: At a glance, the iconic yellow label connotes and invites celebration and with one sip, the vibrant Pinot Noir-dominant wine inside invariably gets it underway Aromas of baked apple and quince are energetically dappled with salted almond and white blossom, while the fairly ty fleshy mouthfeel intersects neatly with firm acidity amid intimations of red berry and pastry.

James Suckling
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut: This has aromas of grapefruit, citrus peel, quince, toast and almonds. It’s medium-bodied with creamy, fine tannins. Silky texture. Nutty complexity at the end.
