In the history of Champagne, wines that were blended for greater sweetness were customarily described as « Rich ». In Russia, consumers would add sugar to their champagne, thus adding a personal touch to their wine.
Tasting Notes
In Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose, the red fruit is boosted to an exciting new level. The signature Pinot Noir of Veuve Cliquot is given a new versatility with a higher dosage (60g/l sugar). Intense red berry fruit notes originate from the blending of Pinot noir red wine, while the presence of Meunier emphasizes fresh and gourmand notes. They are balanced with the creamy finish common to all expressions of Veuve Clicquot.
