A stylish and clever piece of presentation from Veuve Clicquot. The shopping bag is wonderfully branded and will help keep the bottle chilled for a couple of hours or so. The nose provides vibrant notes of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche. The first sip delivers all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label followed by a symphony of fruit tastes. Here is a true member of the powerful Brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. ### Product Description One of the 17 Grande Marque Houses from Champagne. Dating back to 1772 the house has a rich and varied history. \'Veuve\' translates as widow and is a reference to Barbe Nicole Ponsardin who ran the company from a very young age due to her husband\'s sad and untimely death in his early twenties. A woman running a business in the early 19th Century was rare indeed, but Barbe Nicole did not let that get in her way, going on to become a highly influential character in the Champagne region.
