NV Champagne Veuve Clicquot Rosé Brut France

GW says: Madame Clicquot created the first blended Rosé in 1818 by adding some red wine to Yellow Label champagne. The result was Veuve Clicquot Rosé, a fruity and full-bodied expression of the Veuve Clicquot style.  The Brut Rosé offers a rich aromatic profile, combining red and black fruits (cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry), spices (white pepper, saffron, licorice), pastries (biscuit, croissant), all enhanced by accents of toast, orange peel, and gingerbread linked to aging on lees.

Grapes: 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 20 % Pinot Meunier

Appearance: Coppery-orange colour. 

Aroma: Expressive aromas of strawberry and very ripe wild strawberries.

Palate: A full-bodied, structured, vinous palate which stays fresh. Length and character define this champagne.
