    Introduction:
    In 2015, the Maison Veuve Clicquot, known for its audacity and innovation, challenged their renowned "savoir-faire" to introduce mixology to a new wine. The launch of Veuve Clicquot Rich encourages you to discover a new way to experience and enjoy Veuve Clicquot champagne. The Magnum is presented with a pressed silver foil wrap.

    Veuve Clicquot Rich, with Rich meaning sweet, harks back to the classic style of Champagne. As proven from the recent bottles found in the Aland Islands from the 1840's, Veuve Clicquot originally had over 150grams of sugar per litre. 

    Today Veuve Clicquot propels this tradition into the contemporary era with Veuve Clicquot Rich, a new champagne created expressly for mixology. With a higher dosage and a tailored blend of grapes, Veuve Clicquot Rich was born to invite enthusiasts to experiment according to their own tastes and customise their champagne experience. Veuve Clicquot Cellar Master, Dominique Demarville, describes "sugar in champagne is like spices in a recipe, used correctly it can bring out specific aromas and play with taste".

    Dosage: 60 g/l (Doux)

    Serving:
    Veuve Clicquot RICH is a versatile blend that can be combined with a huge host of different ingredients.

    However, there are some options which are particularly suited to bringing out the wine's own native notes.
    These include: Grapefruit, Pineapple, Cucumber, Celery, Peppers and Tea.

    Background Information:
    In 1772, Philippe Clicquot founded a wine-making business under the name Clicquot. In 1798, his son François, who had taken over the family enterprise, married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin. At the time of François' death in 1805, the young 27-year-old widow decided to continue her husband's legacy. A woman of vision, she became the driving force behind the prestige and success of the brand, which in 1810 was renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.

    Ever in pursuit of excellence and innovation, in 1816 Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table with the aim of obtaining clarified champagnes of unrivalled quality. She became known by her contemporaries as the "Grand Dame of Champagne", in recognition of her audacity and determination. Row by row, Madame Clicquot used her skills to develop an exceptional wine-growing territory, consisting of 515 hectares in the heart of the Champagne region's finest vineyard estates.

    Today, both in France and abroad, the Veuve Clicquot brand continues to embody the values held dear by Madame Clicquot: modernity and audacity blended together with an emphasis on quality and expertise that are second to none.

    Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy with a meal.

    The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.
