This fantastic Champagne house, whose orange-yellow label has become its trademark, has a rich and fascinating history. Veuve Clicquot has been a household name in France for over 200 years. In 1772, businessman Philippe Clicquot opened this Champagne house with the ambitious goal of expanding beyond the country's borders. After some modest success, his son took over the house a few years later and, together with his wife, created this magnificent Champagne house. Unfortunately, he was only able to experience this passion for Champagne for a short time, as he passed away in 1805, leaving behind his 27-year-old wife. Grief-stricken, she decided to continue her husband's legacy. She thus became the first female owner of a Champagne house. The widow, or in French, Veuve, managed to make these Champagnes internationally famous. Today, Veuve Clicquot is one of the most coveted Champagnes worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Veuve Clicquot Champagne\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis Veuve Clicquot Brut is made with the three grape varieties found in the Champagne region: Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. These grapes all come from the finest regions within Champagne. For the widow, only the best was good enough for her Champagnes. This is partly why all the grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring a strict selection process. Once the grapes arrive at the large press, they are gently crushed. This ensures that only the finest and purest juice is released, which is used for this delicious Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label. All the grapes from the various regions are pressed separately. Only later is the final blend created, after which the wine is fermented in the cellars for three years. This is where the beautiful mousse develops. Only after these three years will the winemaker approve this sparkling liquid gold as ready for release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhat does a Veuve Clicquot Brut taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The phenomenal result is certainly impressive!

This translates into a beautifully full-bodied and ripe Champagne that's mildly dry. Delicious flavor nuances of white fruit and vanilla alternate with a subtle citrus note.

Interestingly, the name \"Rich\" has appeared on Veuve Clicquot labels since 1877 to denote this sweeter style alongside the dry, yellow-clad cuvées.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2184\" data-end=\"2209\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2424\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2237\"\u003ePinot Noir – Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2240\"\u003e Pinot Noir (50% of the blend) gives Rich Blanc its structure, backbone and some of the ripe white and yellow fruit, while also having enough power to carry the higher dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2426\" data-end=\"2588\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2426\" data-end=\"2449\"\u003eMeunier – Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2449\" data-end=\"2452\"\u003e Meunier (30%) provides juiciness, soft texture and a generous, fruity character, making the champagne feel approachable and round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2590\" data-end=\"2754\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2590\" data-end=\"2616\"\u003eChardonnay – Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2616\" data-end=\"2619\"\u003e Chardonnay (20%) brings fresh acidity, citrus accents and a refined, mineral note that provides balance and length in the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2789\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2791\" data-end=\"3754\"\u003e In the glass, Veuve Clicquot Rich Blanc displays a bright, golden yellow color with fine bubbles. The nose is expressive and layered, with floral notes of violet, rose, and jasmine, followed by exotic fruits such as pineapple, mango, melon, passion fruit, and lychee. Aromas of mirabelle plum, peach, quince paste, and pear emerge, supported by refreshing hints of lemongrass, peppermint, and verbena. In the background, croissant, brioche, and crumble lend a subtle pastry note that complements the sweet style. On the palate, you'll discover the same combination of tropical fruit, white and yellow fruit, fresh spiciness, and soft brioche, with a round texture, lively mousse, and a long, fruity finish. Veuve Clicquot Rich Blanc is specifically designed to be enjoyed very chilled or over ice, for example, in a tall glass with ice cubes as a festive aperitif or during summer moments when you seek a richer, fruitier Champagne style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44313495732303,"sku":"VV1","price":57.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/NIEUWProductafbeeldingen-1080px_1080x1080px_19.webp?v=1767705163"},{"product_id":"veuve-clicquot-rich-rose","title":"Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"43\"\u003eVeuve Clicquot Rich Rosé Champagne AOC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"45\" data-end=\"619\"\u003e Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé is Veuve Clicquot's playful, gourmand rosé champagne, specially developed to be enjoyed extra cold or on ice. This cuvée is all about generous fruit aromas, smoothness, and a distinctly gastronomic style, without losing the freshness of champagne. What sets Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé apart from a classic rosé champagne? The higher dosage of 55g per liter and the special blend with still red wine from Bouzy were deliberately chosen so that the wine retains its full, fruity character on ice and truly comes alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"646\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003e Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé hails from France, from the Champagne region, where the house has been based in Reims since the 18th century. Grapes selected for this cuvée come from various villages in the region, using Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay as the base. Some of the Pinot Noir is vinified as a still red wine in Bouzy and later added to the blend to enhance the rosé color and red fruit. Approximately 40 to 45% of the blend consists of reserve wines, wines from previous vintages that add complexity and a consistent Veuve Clicquot signature, even in this more modern, richer style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1917\"\u003e Rich Rosé is made according to the traditional méthode traditionnelle, with a second fermentation in the bottle and aging on the lees. The dosage is 55g per liter, significantly higher than for a brut, ensuring the wine remains perfectly balanced when served over ice or very cold. The use of a significant portion of reserve wine and the addition of approximately 15% red wine from Bouzy creates a champagne with considerable depth of color, aroma, and flavor. After at least three years of bottle aging, the bubbles are fine and creamy, and the brioche-like baking notes complement the ripe fruit and spicy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"1944\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2162\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1972\"\u003ePinot Noir – Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1972\" data-end=\"1975\"\u003e Pinot Noir forms the base with 50% of the blend and provides structure, body and the core of the red fruit, especially in combination with the still red wine from Bouzy which provides the rosé hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2363\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2187\"\u003eMeunier – Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2190\"\u003e Meunier accounts for 30% and brings juiciness, softness in texture and extra-ripe red and exotic fruit, giving Rich Rosé a very approachable, full-bodied style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2365\" data-end=\"2556\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2365\" data-end=\"2391\"\u003eChardonnay – Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2394\"\u003e Chardonnay makes up 20% of the blend and provides fresh acidity, citrus notes and a light minerality that provide balance and length in the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2558\" data-end=\"2591\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"3546\"\u003e In the glass, Veuve Clicquot Rich Rosé displays a vibrant rosé color with refined, persistent bubbles. The aroma is intense and very gourmand, with violet candy notes, ripe red fruits like strawberry, raspberry, and red currant, alongside exotic fruits like pineapple, watermelon, and date. You'll also find notes of fig, peach, and pear, fresh notes of lemongrass and peppermint, and spicy accents of ginger, white pepper, anise, and nutmeg, rounded out by biscuit, toast, and light roasted aromas. This spectrum returns on the palate in a round, creamy style with a lively mousse, abundant red and tropical fruit, and a long, smooth finish that blends sweetness and freshness. Rich Rosé is specifically designed to be enjoyed ice cold or over ice, preferably in a large glass with ice cubes, as a festive aperitif or as an accompaniment to fruity desserts, summer snacks, and other occasions when you're looking for a distinctly rich, gourmet champagne style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44313508708431,"sku":"VV2","price":61.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/NIEUWProductafbeeldingen-1080px_1080x1080px_20.webp?v=1767705940"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/collections\/Veuve.webp?v=1766389817","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-veuve-clicquot.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
