Tasting - Veuve Clicquot Champagne

Name: Veuve Yellow Label Brut Champagne
Variety: 50-55% Pinot Noir, 15-25% Meunier, 28-33% Chardonnay
Region: Champagne
Country: France
Year: I couldn't find this on the bottle :(
Price: $60


Winery Review: "Tasted blind. Pale straw gold. Light, complex nose. Good savour. Some smokiness. Really neat and tight. Lots of potential. Some appley acidity and really clean on the end. Very complex on the end. Full of vitality."

My Review: This champagne was opened for my roommates birthday and I was lucky enough to have a taste. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough glasses for everyone so some of us ended up drinking out of regular ole drinking glasses. That bubbles just didn't look as good from it, but they were still oh so pretty. I'm not usually a fan of sparkling wines, but this one was good. It had a fair amount of acidity and was on the drier side. The taste did have apples in it which was slightly hidden behind the acidity. It's a nice wine to have for a celebration, but I wouldn't call it a classic drinking wine even though it was very good.
