Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé Champagne, 75cl

In 1805, the young widow Madame Clicquot took the reins of the House, founded in 1772. Audacious, she invented the first known vintage champagne, the riddling table and the first blended rosé. Her taste for excellence lives on in the wine style: Pinot Noir predominance, largest collection of reserve wines, superb terroir of which 6 grands crus and long maturation. From the moment she first took over the House, Madame Clicquot was anything but a figurehead. She was an engaged leader and a prolific inventor, driven by a sense of curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence. Nothing speaks to her ingenuity and long-lasting impact more than her three most notable inventions: the first recorded vintage champagne (1810), the riddling table (table de remuage - 1816), blended rosé champagne (rosé d'assemblage - 1818). From harvest to shipment, Veuve Clicquot is inspired by the House's longstanding motto, "only one quality, the finest." This is elegantly embodied in the Veuve Clicquot style, based on four essential elements: the predominance of Pinot Noir in each wine, the generous addition of priceless reserve wines, the superb terroir of Veuve Clicquot's own vineyards, and the long maturation of the wines (longer than legally required). These four essential elements are present in each and every Veuve Clicquot champagne, expressed in the wine's own unique way, and guided by Cellar Master Didier Mariotti and his team of winemaking experts.
