Veuve Clicquot Brut Rose Champagne

Veuve Clicquot made the first blended rosé Champagne in 1818, mixing red wine into white, and this Brut Rosé is still made that way. Barbe-Nicole Clicquot ran the Reims house from 1805.

It is built on the Yellow Label blend, 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier, with red Pinot Noir wine added for color and structure. Up to 45% reserve wines from 50 to 60 crus go into it.

Veuve describes cherry, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry with white pepper and biscuit, plus toast and orange peel from time on the lees, and a long finish.

Next to the white Yellow Label Brut, the rosé has more red fruit and grip; with salmon, pizza or a cheese board, choose the rosé.

The house says to serve it at 8 to 10°C and drink it within about three years. We also carry the magnum.
