Veuve Clicquot Rosé NV is the direct descendant of the first blended rosé Champagne ever created — crafted by Madame Clicquot herself in 1818 by adding red wine to Yellow Label Champagne. Coppery-orange in colour, with expressive aromas of strawberry and very ripe wild strawberries, and a full-bodied, structured, vinous palate that stays fresh. The length and character define this Champagne. Made from 50 to 60 different crus, with up to 40% reserve wines and 12% red wine addition — the most historically significant rosé Champagne in the world.
Appearance
Coppery-orange — the distinctive, warm, and immediately recognisable colour of Veuve Clicquot Rosé, achieved through the addition of 12% red wine using red grapes specially selected to give a marvellous balance to this rosé. A colour that has defined the style since Madame Clicquot created it in 1818.
Aroma
Expressive aromas of strawberry and very ripe wild strawberries — the vibrant, fruit-forward bouquet of a full-bodied rosé Champagne assembled from 50 to 60 different crus and enriched by up to 40% reserve wines, some of which are nine years old.
Palate
Full-bodied, structured, and vinous — a palate that stays fresh, with the length and character that define this Champagne. The high percentage of reserve wines providing the consistency, complexity, and depth that Madame Clicquot’s original 1818 vision demanded, and that every subsequent release has honoured.
Pairs With
Fresh salmon, lobster, duck, strawberry desserts, soft cheeses, and charcuterie — or simply as the most elegant and historically significant apéritif available. The full-bodied structure, fresh acidity, and wild strawberry character make Veuve Clicquot Rosé a natural and deeply satisfying partner for the finest food at the table.
