										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This wine, with an extra-brut dosage, is dominated by great Pinot Noir flavours, tempered by the elegance of the Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and that signature touch of Pinot Meunier.</p>
<p>Fruit sourced from 85% Grands crus and Premiers crus. 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier, with origins in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. Aged en tirage for 7+ years .</p>
<p>A nervy, charming, tactile delight (chestnut cream, fresh blueberries, and shortbread), emphasised by a delicate texture. The wine reaches a distinguished complexity, with a persistent finish, crisply structured by the high-quality potential of such a sought-after vintage.</p>
<p>A deeply sculpted vintage with a noble, exquisitely distinctive character.</p>
<p>Enjoy to the fullest with red tuna, papaya, and avocado, or with pan-fried foie gras, peaches, verbena, rhubarb, and verjuice (prematurely harvested grape juice). Service temperature: 11–12° C.</p>
<p>Alc 12.5%</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Grape Varieties: 50% Pinot Noir | 30% Chardonnay | 20% Pinot Meunier</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>Launched in 2004, the Ice Jacket perfectly balances design, innovation and high fashion.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Behind this functional and trendy case is a feat of eco-engineering that keeps the bottle of Yellow Label Brut or Rosé Brut perfectly chilled for up to 60 minutes, and ready to be poured anywhere, anytime!</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Since 1772, Yellow Label Brut has showcased the fine art of blending. With a predominance of Pinot Noir to provide that typical Clicquot structure, a touch of Meunier rounds out the blend, while Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse. As they say, the proof of a Champagne House is in its Brut Non-Vintage!</div>
<div></div>
<div>Tasting Notes</div>
<div>Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label reconciles two opposing factors—strength and silkiness—and holds them in perfect balance with aromatic intensity and a lot of freshness. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, Bollinger R.D. 2008 is lively and exceptionally complex, taking us on a journey outside time. Hazelnuts, with all their freshness and generosity, are the perfect ingredient to echo a wine of such splendour.</p>
<p>The 2008 vintage is composed of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay. A total of 18 crus can be found in the blending, mostly Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant for Chardonnay.</p>
<p>The fermentation is entirely in oak barrels. Bollinger R.D. is sold just a few months after being disgorged, with a very low dosage known as “extra brut”, at just 3 grams per litre. The recent disgorgement guarantees the remarkable freshness of the wine.</p>
<p>A wine glimmering with golden reflections.</p>
<p>Fresh notes of bergamot accompany enticing aromas of marzipan, stewed apricots, honey, and breadcrumbs.</p>
<p>A rich, precise mousse. Flavours of Mirabelle plums and vine peaches follow Citrus notes—a very vivacious wine which unfolds to reveal exceptional complexity. Notes of fresh hazelnuts and salinity combine to create an intense, everlasting finish.</p>
