James Suckling
Toasty and generous with lemon freshness, this also has quite some dried-pear and peach aromas from mature elements of the blend, plus a touch of spice at the long, structured finish. The cuvée is based on 2015 and is 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Reserve wines make up more than one third of the blend.

Decanter
The doughy base shows a hint of creaminess, layered with light and fresh flavours of lemon, orange peel, razor-sharp green apples and a steely, mineral finish. Quintessential Champagne and a great aperitif thanks to it's light-footed style. (JB)

Wine & Spirits
Initially, this seems like a cream puff of a wine, generous in its vanilla scents, vibrant apple flavors and tart strawberry acidity. Then some limestone minerality encourages the mouth-tingling strawberry notes as the wine opens with air, still creamy, now with a carrot-top herbal freshness. An impressive release of Yellow Label, this would be delicious at dinner with roast sea bass over chanterelles and cream.

Wine Enthusiast
One of the most popular of all Champagnes, this is now showing a freshness that wasn't always there. The crisp texture and green-apple flavors give it an immediate drinkability as well as perfumed acidity and a vibrant aftertaste. (RV)

Wine Spectator
Lightly toasty on the nose, with grilled nut and smoke notes underscoring poached pear and pastry cream flavors. Rapierlike acidity keeps this fresh and focused, cleaning the creamy finish. (AN)

Wine Advocate
The latest rendition of Clicquot's emblematic NV Brut Yellow Label contains around 35% reserve wines—mostly from the last five vintages—and was finished with 10 grams per liter dosage. Offering up aromas of warm bread, peach, citrus oil and crushed chalk, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a sweet core of fruit marked by a touch of sweetness from its dosage, concluding with a clean, nicely defined finish.
