Veuve Clicquot Rose

Description

The Veuve Clicquot Rose Champagne is produced using a blend of 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20 % Meunier, and 28 to 33% Chardonnay grapes which are based on Yellow Labels traditional blend. The best grapes in the Champagne area of France are located and the most quality grapes that will aid the perfect expression of the Veuve Clicquot Rose style are selected. Madame Clicquot invented the first Rose Champagne in 1818 which many now enjoy today. The predominant Pinot Noir grape in the blend provides the structure that the Veuve Clicquot is known for, Chardonnay adds the sophistication and finesse crucial in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier is used to round off the blend. The blend is then completed with still red wine to give it the fruitiness that it requires. The Veuve Clicquots Rose is a fruity burst of red fruits and is full-bodied with flavours of cherries and ripe strawberries and has an aging potential of three years.
