Veuve Clicquot — Rosé

Rosé

Veuve Clicquot | Rosé

A classic in the glass: Rosé, served in an elegant champagne flute

The color: bright salmon. The mood: anticipation for summer. And the detail that caught my eye? The info on the foil capsule:

"En 1818, Madame Clicquot inventa le premier Rosé d'assemblage." "In 1818, Madame Clicquot invented the first blended Rosé."

A little reminder that we're not just enjoying a well-known Rosé here – but also a piece of Champagne history.

A few facts about the champagne:

  • Assemblage: approx. 50–55% Pinot Noir, 15–20% Meunier, 28–33% Chardonnay, including 12% red wine from Bouzy
  • Dosage: ~9 g/l
  • Style: Fruit-forward, with notes of strawberries, raspberries, sour cherries, and a hint of brioche
  • Aging: Partially in stainless steel, no malolactic fermentation for all base wines
  • Impression: charming, lively, approachable – a Rosé that's not too playful, but also not too austere

Tasting Notes

Fruit-forward Rosé with notes of strawberries, raspberries, sour cherries, and a hint of brioche. Charming, lively, and approachable in style.
