Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut Rose Champagne Rose Champagne Blend

Madame Clicquot created the first blended Rose in 1818 by adding some red wine to Yellow Label champagne. The result was Veuve Clicquot Rose a fruity and full-bodied expression of the Veuve Clicquot style. The Blend Made using 50 to 60 different crus the cuvee is based on Brut Yellow Label’s traditional blend 44 to 48 % Pinot Noir 13 to 18 % Meunier 25 to 29 % Chardonnay. The blend draws on a particularly high percentage of reserve wines originating from several harvests (usually 5 or 6): from 25 to 35% sometimes as much as 40% to ensure the consistency of the House style. The reserve wines some of which are 9 years old are kept separately depending on the origin of the crus and the years in which the wines were produced. This blend is completed with 12% of red wine using red grapes specially raised and selected to give a marvellous balance to this rose.
