WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This non-vintage Rose is the end result of a desire to create a Rose champagne with a delightfully luscious, fruit-based charm. Jacques Peters, the cellarmaster, and his team wanted a champagne that would be accessible and naturally engaging while conserving Veuve Clicquot's essential values in terms of style.
The wine has a luminous color with attractive pink glints. The nose is generous and elegant, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, blackberry), leading to biscuity notes of dried fruits and Viennese pastries (almonds, apricots and brioche).
The fresh attack is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation on the palate. The wine is perfectly balanced in the best Veuve Clicquot style of pink champagnes, combining elegance and flair. The wine works its magic—this delectably full champagne can be enjoyed as a true delicacy. A deliciously fruity wine in earlybloom, this is a wonderful aperitif to be shared as a twosome or simply with friends.
Made using 50 to 60 different crus, the cuvee is based on Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend: 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier, and 28 to 33% Chardonnay.
TASTING NOTES:
- James Suckling, 91 pts.
A bright rosé Champagne that shows good cut and integration, with flavors of pink grapefruit sorbet, ripe white raspberry, toasted brioche and oyster shell riding the finely textured mousse. Minerally. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
- Wine Spectator, 91 pts.
The nose features truffle, gunpowder, dried berries and grapefruit bitters, while the palate reveals redcurrants, wild berries, orange peel and red flowers. Good texture, vibrant acidity, a velvety mousse and a savoury finish.
