' Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the symbol of the House's art of blending, it defines the House style through a perfect balance of strength, aromatic intensity, freshness, and silkiness. Created in 1877, more than 140 years ago, the iconic yellow label - now one of the most recognizable colours in Champagne - continues to represent both the House's heritage and its daring audacity. Grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different Crus go to the blending of Yellow Label. 30-45% of reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus go into the finished blend. The Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend. The long aging in their cellars or Crayères (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne. '
