Credited as the first Champagne House to produce a rosé, this is a house specialty since the 1775. The robust fruit flavors of Veuve Clicquot's Rosé Réserve results from adding still Pinot Noir wine from Veuve Clicquot's grand cru vineyards in the village of Bouzy. This wonderful, dry Champagne with its light rose glow and copper highlights is an ideal companion for dishes like salmon or poultry and also as an apéritif.
The nose is expressive, with aromas of red fruit (wild strawberry, raspberry and gooseberry) that develop into more complex aromas (fig, fresh almond and bergamot). On the palate, the wine is round and balanced with a lingering finish. The wine has great structure and a strong “vinous” character, derived from superior quality pinot noir grapes. This wine can be classified as a mythical vintage as far as its maturing potential is concerned.
