Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne - 1878221

Founded in 1772, the Veuve Clicquot House has since lived by its motto, "Only one quality, the finest." It was actually Madame Clicquot herself who created the very first blended rosé in the Champagne region. Exactly 200 years ago, in 1818, she broke with the accepted practice of using an elderberry-based preparation and instead blended in some of her fine Bouzy reds with her classic champagne. The result was the world's first blended rosé, the Veuve Clicquot Rosé. Once more, Madame Clicquot was leading the way and changing the rules. And she could only do that thanks to the exceptional quality of her red wines, coming from sought-after vineyards. The secret was, and is, in the blend. The cuvée is based on the traditional Yellow Label blend (50 to 55 percent Pinot Noir, 15 to 20 percent Meunier, 28 to 33 percent Chardonnay), completed with 12 percent of red wine using red grapes especially raised and selected to bring strength and aromatic intensity. The result is a burst of red fruits, copper-hued and full-bodied rosé of character. Veuve Clicquot Rosé is a true symbol of Madame Clicquot's ingenious and audacious spirit. The blend includes reserve wines (30-45%) which ensure the consistency of the House style, year on year.
