    Overview

    Veuve Clicquot Rose Jeroboam

     
    Introduction:
    In 1818, Madame Clicquot did something that was revelatory at the time in Champagne - she added some red wine to white to create a rosé, spearheading an approach to rosé champagne making which would become the standard across the region 200 years later.
     
    To celebrate the 200th anniversary of their first rosé champagne, Veuve Clicquot has launched in 2018 the non-vintage rosé in a Jeroboam 3 litres format.
     
    Tasting Notes:
    The wine has a luminous colour with radiant rose accents. The nose is elegant and generous, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry and blackberry) leading to dried fruits and biscuit notes (almonds, apricots and brioche).
     
    On the palate, the fresh first impression is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation. In line with the style of the Veuve Clicquot House, the wine is perfectly balanced and combines elegance and personality.The wine works its magic - this delectable champagne is beautifully ample and full of charm. It is a delicious wine in early bloom, a Rosé with character, wonderful as an aperitif to be shared as a twosome or with dear friends.

    Made using grapes from 50 to 60 different villages, the structure is based on Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend, i.e. 
    - 50 to 55% Pinot Noir
    - 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier
    - 28 to 33% Chardonnay

    The blend includes a high percentage (25-35%, sometimes 40%) of "reserve wines" originating from several harvests of the past, which ensures the consistency and quality of the house style. It is completed with approximately 12% of red wine using black grapes especially raised and selected to give a marvellous balance to this Rosé. 

    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 was the first house to export a rosé champagne to Switzerland, in 1775. Match-less know-how has made it a house speciality and Veuve Clicquot has been making rosé champagnes in the great vintage years since the end of the eighteenth century.

    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.
