In 1818, Madame Clicquot revolutionized the Champagne world by creating the first known blended Rosé Champagne, rejecting the traditional elderberry coloring method in favor of blending her still red wine from Bouzy with her sparkling white wine. The Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé Brut is a direct heir to this historic innovation, crafted only in exceptional years when the harvest meets the house's rigorous standards. Pinot Noir takes center stage, providing the signature power and structure, complemented by Chardonnay's elegance and Meunier's roundness. The beautiful copper-pink hue and complex red fruit character are achieved by blending in still red wine sourced from prestigious Grand and Premier Cru parcels, followed by years of patient aging on the lees in the house's historic chalk crayères.
