The story goes that it was Madame Clicquot who created the first Rosé champagne by blending in history. It was 1818 and "the widow" added a percentage of red wine to her Brut. The result was this Veuve Clicquot Rosé, pleasant and fruity, typical of the house's style, the child of blending some 50-60 different crus. The body of the Cuvée is based on the traditional style of Brut Yellow Label, consisting of 44-48% Pinot Noir, 13-18% Meunier and 25-29% Chardonnay. In addition, the blend includes a particularly high percentage of reserve wines from numerous vintages, guaranteeing the consistency of the Maison's style. These wines, some with more than 9 years of aging, are stored individually, respecting the origin of the crus and the vintages of production. The delicate and unmistakable color is guaranteed, today as in its origins, by the addition of a small percentage, about 12 percent, of red wines from different areas and selected to give the rosé a perfect balance. A coppery orange color, the aroma is expressive and characterized by aromas of strawberry and very ripe wild strawberries. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is full-bodied, structured and vinous, while maintaining an unaltered freshness. A pleasantly gastronomic champagne, this rosé has no trouble finding a place on any table. Excellent with flavorful fish such as tuna or swordfish, it can also accompany meat dishes such as beef carpaccio or even duck. There are also those who like to offer it as an end to a meal, perhaps to accompany a mouth-watering bowl of red fruits.
