Veuve Clicquot Rose

Veuve Clicquot Rose is crafted in the Champagne region of France. It is a rose blend created from Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (30%), and Pinot Meunier (20%), with an addition of 12% red wine from Bouzy with 12.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). The grapes are carefully selected from 50 to 60 different crus, ensuring a rich and balanced flavor profile. The wine undergoes a meticulous production process, starting with whole bunch pressing to preserve the fresh fruit flavors and high acidity. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats, followed by a first blind tasting by the winemakers. The wine is then aged on lees, developing its complex aromas and flavors. A unique aspect of Veuve Clicquot Rose is its creation by Madame Clicquot in 1818, who innovatively blended red wine with her Champagne to create the first true rose Champagne. This rose Champagne pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from creamy cheeses like Camembert and Brie to seafood risotto, turkey, and even desserts like macaroons and chocolate.

Aroma: The Brut Rose offers a rich aromatic profile, combining red and black fruits (cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry), spices (white pepper, saffron, licorice), pastries (biscuit, croissant), all enhanced by accents of toast, orange peel, and gingerbread linked to aging on lees.

Palate: The blend is structured by Pinot Noir, the true backbone of the wine. The addition of 12% red wine from Bouzy brings depth and power to the palate. A harmonious balance of freshness and structure with red fruits, biscuits, pastry aromas, and a long, elegant finish.
