A still base wine is blended (assemblage) from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay sourced across 50–60 crus, then completed with a large share of reserve wines — the house cites up to about 45% — to keep the Yellow Label style consistent from year to year. A second fermentation in the sealed bottle creates the bubbles; the wine then ages about three years on its lees in the chalk cellars of Reims, building the brioche, toast and almond character, before riddling and disgorgement.
