Description
Madame Clicquot created the first married rose in 1818 by adding some red wine to yellow label champagne. The result was Veuve Clicquot Rose, a fruity and full-bodied expression of the Veuve Clicquot style.
Produced using 50 to 60 different crus, the cuvee is based on the traditional Brut Yellow Label blend: 44 to 48% Pinot Noir, 13 to 18% Meunier, 25 to 29% Chardonnay.
The marriage contains a particularly high percentage (25-35%, sometimes 40%) of reserve wines from different harvests (usually 5 or 6); this ensures the consistency of the house style.
The reserve wines, some of which are 9 years old, are stored separately depending on the origin of the crus and the years in which the wines were produced.
This marriage is complemented by 12% red wines using red grapes, specially bred and selected to give this rose a wonderful balance.
