✨ Technical Specifications
Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose is a contemporary homage to the historical sweet Champagnes favored by nineteenth-century courts, where drinkers famously customized their wines. Created specifically for mixology and modern enjoyment, this innovative cuvee is crafted with a high dosage of around 60 grams per liter to enhance the natural fruit flavors when served over ice. The blend is anchored by Pinot Noir, which provides the signature Veuve Clicquot structure, complemented by a significant proportion of Meunier to emphasize fresh, gourmand red fruit notes, and Chardonnay for brightness. A selection of still red wines is blended in to achieve its vibrant copper-pink hue and rich berry character.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot in Reims, Veuve Clicquot rose to global prominence under the visionary leadership of Madame Clicquot, the legendary Grande Dame of Champagne who took control of the house in 1805. Renowned for transformative innovations including the creation of the riddling table and the development of the first blended rosé Champagne, the Maison has shaped modern sparkling winemaking history. Anchored in premier terroirs across Champagne, the estate champions a Pinot Noir-dominant philosophy that delivers structural power, richness, and enduring freshness. Today, part of the LVMH group, the house is celebrated globally for its iconic Yellow Label Brut as well as prestige expressions like La Grande Dame and the vintage Cave Privée series.
