Elaboration:

Blend 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from up to 50-60 different crus. predominates Pinot Noir (50-55%) , which provides that structure so typical of Veuve Clicquot, while its Chardonnay (28-33%) brings the essential elegance and delicacy in a perfectly balanced wine and, finally, a touch of Meunier (15-20%) which serves to round off the mixture.
The long aging in "Crayères" (minimum 3 years for Yellow Label) is what gives the champagne its silkiness
