✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Veuve Clicquot Rosé is steeped in a revolutionary history dating back to 1818, when Madame Clicquot—the legendary 'Grande Dame of Champagne'—shattered convention by creating the first known blended rosé Champagne. Dissatisfied with the contemporary practice of coloring Champagne with elderberry-based mixtures, she chose instead to blend her still red wine from the prestigious vineyards of Bouzy with her classic white sparkling base. Today, this iconic cuvée continues to honor her legacy. It is crafted around the house's signature Pinot Noir-dominant blend, which provides structure and strength, balanced by Chardonnay for elegance and Pinot Meunier for roundness. To achieve its vibrant pink hue and expressive red-berry character, a portion of still red Pinot Noir is blended into the traditional base. The result is a Champagne of remarkable intensity, offering aromas of fresh wild strawberries, ripe cherries, and a touch of brioche from extended lees aging in the house's historic chalk cellars.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Veuve Clicquot blev grundlagt i 1772 af Philippe Clicquot, men opnåede for alvor sin legendariske status under Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, som blev enke i 1805. Madame Clicquot stod bag en række skelsættende nyskabelser; hun skabte den første dokumenterede årgangschampagne i 1810, opfandt pulten til reolling (pupitre) i 1816 og udviklede i 1818 metoden til fremstilling af moderne blended rosé-champagne. Huset, der i dag er en del af LVMH, råder over cirka 390 hektar egne vinmarker, hvor Grand og Premier Cru-parceller dominerer i Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs og Vallée de la Marne – samtlige certificeret under Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3) og Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC). Under kældermester Didier Mariotti er vinhusets stil fortsat forankret i Pinot Noir, som tilfører struktur, fylde og vinøs intensitet. En mesterlig beherskelse af reservevine og langvarig lagring i de UNESCO-fredede, gallo-romerske kalkkældre (crayères) under Reims kendetegner husets ikoniske cuvéer, herunder Yellow Label Brut, Extra Brut Extra Old og den prestigefyldte årgangscuvée, La Grande Dame.
