The story goes that it was Madame Clicquot who created the first Rosé champagne by assembly 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 style of the house, son of the assembly of about 50-60 different crus. The body of the Cuvée is based on the traditional style of Brut Yellow Label, composed of 44-48% Pinot Noir, 13-18% Meunier and 25-29% Chardonnay. Furthermore, the assembly includes a particularly high percentage of reserve wines, coming from numerous harvests, 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 the origins, by the addition of a small percentage, about 12%, of red wines from different areas and selected to give the rosé a perfect balance. Coppery orange colour, the bouquet is expressive and characterized by aromas of strawberries and very ripe wild strawberries. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is full-bodied, structured and vinous, while maintaining an unchanged freshness. Pleasantly gastronomic Champagne, this rosé finds its place on any table without difficulty. Excellent with tasty 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 at the end of a meal, perhaps to accompany a delicious cup of red fruits.
