✨ Technical Specifications
The Veuve Clicquot 'Yellowboam' is a grand, theatrical celebration of the house's signature Yellow Label Brut, presented exclusively in a three-liter Jeroboam. This iconic cuv e pays homage to Madame Clicquot, the 'Grande Dame of Champagne,' who revolutionized the region in the early 19th century with the invention of the riddling table. The blend is anchored by the strength and structure of Pinot Noir (typically 50-55%), balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay and the roundness of Meunier, sourced from up to 60 distinct crus. To ensure consistency and depth, a significant proportion of reserve wines—often aged up to nine years—is incorporated. The massive Jeroboam format allows for a slower, more majestic autolytic aging process, resulting in a complex profile of brioche, ripe stone fruits, and delicate spice, wrapped in the house's legendary silkiness.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot, Maison Veuve Clicquot attained legendary status under the stewardship of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, who was widowed in 1805. Madame Clicquot pioneered landmark innovations, creating the first recorded vintage Champagne in 1810, developing the riddling table (pupitre) in 1816, and formulating the modern blended rosé Champagne method in 1818. Today owned by LVMH, the house oversees roughly 390 hectares of estate vineyards—dominated by Grand and Premier Cru parcels across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne—all certified under Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC). Under Cellar Master Didier Mariotti, the winemaking philosophy remains anchored in Pinot Noir, imparting structure, breadth, and vinous intensity. Masterful reserve-wine blending and extended maturation inside Reims' UNESCO-listed Gallo-Roman chalk crayères define benchmark cuvées such as Yellow Label Brut, Extra Brut Extra Old, and the prestigious vintage cuvée, La Grande Dame.
