Veuve Clicquot : Ice Jacket Rosé

A seductive rosé champagne showcases its fresh and fruity expression in a statement case

The estate

An emblematic reference among the finest Champagne references, the Veuve Clicquot Champagne house built its reputation thanks to one woman: Madame Clicquot. In just a few years and at the end of the 18th century, Madame Clicquot established herself as the "Great Lady of Champagne" and invented the riddling table while always boasting her motto: "Only one quality, the finest". The world-famous Veuve Clicquot Champagne House  produces vintages with a vinous style and stands out due to its bottles, recognisable at first glance, which are adorned with a yellow label.

The vineyard

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

The wine

The Veuve Clicquot Champagne House reveals its SMEG Rosé case. Based on a blend of Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune, to which approximately 12% of red wines are added, this rosé champagne expresses the house way of life and offers an alluring power and aromatic intensity.

The blend

Pinot Noir (50 to 55%)

Chardonnay (28 to 33%)

Pinot Meunier (15 to 20%)

This blend is completed by 12% of red wine (Pinot Noir)
