A champagne house is judged primarily on the quality of its Brut non-vintage, which, more than any other wine reveals its art of assemblage. Powerful and complex, the Brut Yellow ensures continuity of the House style and offers an "aromatic" rare brand remembered for long.50-55% Pinot Noir, 28-33% Chardonnay, 15-20% Pinot Meunier. Maison Veuve Clicquot Ponsardi was founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot in Reims, France. He chose the anchor, the Christian symbol for hope and rigor, as the cork brand which was the only distinguishing mark in the era before labels. In 1805, Barbe Nicole Ponsardin (aka Madame Veuve Clicquot) took over the house. And in the 1860s to 1870s, the house entered a new era as it began to systematically label each of its bottles and slowly apply yellow labels to all their products. The house has played an important role in establishing the importance and advancement of champagne.
Today, the anchor and yellow label are the main features that allows consumers to identify Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin bottles. Grapes from 50 to 60 different crus, or growing areas, are used to produce the Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune, which offers a perfect balance of power and finesse. 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.
