Description
Veuve Clicquot’s Rich Champagne is a unique creation designed to be enjoyed creatively, in cocktails or over ice. Inspired by the tradition of “rich” Champagnes from the 19th century, this cuvée is higher in sugar dosage, giving it a rounder and more indulgent profile, perfect for mixology experiments. Veuve Clicquot reimagines the pleasure of Champagne by crafting a versatile cuvée that encourages playful pairings with ingredients like citrus fruits, cucumbers, or spices, allowing each tasting to be personalized.
Blend
Pinot Noir (dominant) for structure, Pinot Meunier for roundness and fruitiness, and Chardonnay for elegance. This Champagne has a higher sugar content (dosage of 60 g/L), providing a sweetness that distinguishes it from the house’s other cuvées.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Golden hue with bright reflections, accompanied by fine, lively bubbles.
Nose: Generous aromas of exotic fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by citrus notes and a subtle floral hint. Nuances of dried fruits and pastry also emerge.
Palate: On the palate, Rich is sweet, fruity, and creamy, with a silky texture. Tropical fruit flavors blend with citrus zest and dried fruit notes, finishing with a sweetness that is balanced by refreshing acidity.
Aging Potential
Rich is designed for immediate enjoyment, allowing you to fully appreciate its fresh aromas and playful character.
Food Pairings
This Champagne is perfect for creative cocktail experiences, served over ice and paired with ingredients like lemon slices, cucumber, or mint leaves. It also pairs well with fruity desserts or exotic dishes, such as mango tartare or lightly spiced seafood.
