Veuve Clicquot Brut Rose Champagne

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Expressive notes of tangerine, yellow peach and cherry fruit is set on the lacy mousse of this fresh and focused rosé Champagne. It's well-balanced, with hints of toast point, anise and lemon thyme adding a savory edge to the finish. Drink now through 2023.” - 92 PTS, WINE SPECTATOR (12/2020)

CHAMPAGNE HOUSE NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Made using 50 to 60 different crus, the cuvee is based on Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend, 44-48 % Pinot Noir, 13-18% Meunier, 25 -29% Chardonnay. The blend draws on a particularly high percentage of reserve wines originating from several harvests (usually 5 or 6): from 25 to 35%, sometimes as much as 40% to ensure the consistency of the House style. The reserve wines, some of which are 9 years old, are kept separately depending on the origin of the crus and the years in which the wines were produced.”

TASTING: “Coppery-orange color. Expressive aromas of strawberry and very ripe wild strawberries. A full-bodied, structured, vinous palate which stays fresh. Length and character define this champagne.”
