Champagne Veuve Clicquot Rosé
Veuve Clicquot Rosé is an elegant and characterful rosé champagne from one of Champagne's most iconic houses. It combines freshness and finesse with juicy notes of strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, along with subtle nuances of brioche and spices. A gastronomic Champagne with great structure, lively bubbles, and Veuve Clicquot's classic full-bodied style.
About the product
Veuve Clicquot Rosé is based on the house's classic style and is crafted with Pinot Noir as a central component of the blend, alongside Chardonnay and Meunier. A portion of red wine is added to the assemblage to create the characteristic rosé color and provide extra aroma, structure, and intensity of red berries.
Veuve Clicquot has a long history with rosé champagne and launched its first blended rosé in 1818. The house's extensive collection of reserve wines plays an important role in the consistent style, where freshness, ripe fruit, structure, and complexity go hand in hand. The result is a rosé champagne that works both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to a wide selection of dishes.
