✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Luminous represents the iconic house style of one of Champagne's most legendary estates, presented in an innovative, light-up bottle designed for celebration. Founded in 1772, the house owes its global renown to Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin—the 'Grande Dame of Champagne'—who took the reins in 1805 as a young widow. Madame Clicquot revolutionized Champagne production by inventing the riddling table to clarify the wine and creating the first recorded blended Rosé. The Yellow Label Brut, first introduced in the late 19th century, is dominated by Pinot Noir (typically 50-55%), which provides structure and strength, balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay (28-33%) and the roundness of Pinot Meunier (15-20%). To ensure consistency across years, the blend incorporates up to 45% reserve wines, some aged up to nine years, before undergoing a minimum of three years of cellar aging on its lees. The result is a complex, rich Champagne with notes of yellow fruit, brioche, and vanilla, reflecting the historic terroir of the Champagne AOC.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Veuve Clicquot blev grundlagt i Reims i 1772 af Philippe Clicquot, men opnåede for alvor global berømmelse under Madame Clicquots visionære lederskab. Den legendariske »Grande Dame de la Champagne« overtog huset i 1805 og revolutionerede branchen med skelsættende nyskabelser som opfindelsen af pultrebrættet (la table de remuage) og fremstillingen af den første blendede rosé-champagne. Huset har dermed sat et uudsletteligt præg på den moderne mousserende vinhistorie. Med rødder i Champagnes fornemste terroirs dyrker ejendommen en Pinot Noir-domineret stil, der forener strukturel styrke og fylde med en rank og vedvarende friskhed. I dag hører champagnehuset under LVMH-gruppen og er verdenskendt for sin ikoniske Yellow Label Brut samt prestigeserier som La Grande Dame og de eksklusive årgangsvine i Cave Privée-serien.
