The NV Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Non Vintage Brut is a Champagne blend crafted by the esteemed producer Veuve Clicquot in France's renowned Champagne region. This non-vintage sparkling wine carries an alcohol content of 12.0% and is sealed with a cork.

Critical acclaim for this Champagne is largely positive, with Decanter awarding it a remarkable score of 94. In their review, they highlight the "lemony richness on the nose" and describe a "toffee apple allure on the palate," complemented by a "chalky coolness & savoury nutty finish." Such high praise places this Champagne blend among the upper echelons of non-vintage offerings.

James Suckling also commends the wine, granting it a score of 92. His review mentions its "toasty and generous" qualities, with "lemon freshness" and "dried-pear and peach aromas." He notes the influence of mature elements in the blend, which consists of 50% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay, and 20% pinot meunier, with reserve wines making up more than one-third of the blend. Suckling recommends enjoying this Champagne now, appreciating its "long, structured finish."

Wine Enthusiast provides a slightly more tempered, yet still positive review, scoring the wine at 90. Roger Voss observes that the Champagne is "getting imperceptibly drier," with a "fresh edge" and "crisp apple fruits" that provide a lift at the end. The recommendation is to drink it now, suggesting it is at its peak freshness.

Overall, the NV Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Non Vintage Brut is a well-regarded Champagne blend that consistently receives praise for its balance of rich, toasty notes and fresh, fruity characteristics. Its blend of pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot meunier, along with the inclusion of reserve wines, contributes to its complexity and enduring appeal.
