Veuve Clicquot : Ice Jacket Rose

A seductive rosé champagne full of freshness and fruity expression presented in an innovative case

The estate

An emblematic reference among the great names of Champagne, the Veuve Clicquot House has built its reputation since its creation in 1772 thanks to a woman: Madame Clicquot. In a few years and at the end of the 18th century, Madame Clicquot will establish herself as the "Great lady of Champagne" and will be at the origin of the invention of the riddling table with the motto "only one quality, the very first". World-renowned, the Veuve Clicquot Champagne House stands out with its bottles recognizable at first glance and adorned with a yellow label, inspired by the rising sun, with cuvées in a vinous style.

The vineyard

Owner of 390 hectares, the Veuve Clicquot House owns one of the largest vineyards in Champagne. This vineyard is also exceptional for its quality as it is spread over 12 of the 17 Grands Crus and 20 of the 44 Premiers Crus of Champagne.

The wine

It was in 1818 that Madame Clicquot created the very first blended rosé champagne. Even today, this Brut cuvée dosed at 9 g/L from a rigorous selection of 50 to 60 different crus seduces with its rich aromatic palette and its liveliness on the palate.

The Veuve Clicquot Champagne House unveils its Ice Jacket Rosé. Based on the blend of Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune, to which about 12% of red wines are added, this rosé champagne expressing the art of living specific to the house seduces with its power and aromatic intensity.

Blend

The Brut Rosé from Veuve Clicquot is the result of a blend reminiscent of the style of Brut Carte Jaune, namely 50% pinot noir, 20% pinot meunier and 30% chardonnay. This blend is complemented by 12% of still wine vinified in red.
