$49.00 - 105 André Clouet, Brut Rosé, Champagne, Grand Cru
The well known "Yellow Label" represents quality to so many people. The layers of citrus and minerality from the Chardonnay, brambly berry from the Pinot Meunier, and the refined full structure from the Pinot Noir, which is the dominant variety in this blend, makes this an outstanding Non-Vintage Champagne.
