"This seems drier than its stablemate, the famous Yellow Label, and is the better for it. There is an urgent freshness here, driven by red currants and tight plum skin flavors. It is lively but full in the mouth, and shows just the right bottle age."

"A smoky version, exhibiting light berry and watermelon notes. Quite firm, as much from the chalky sensation as from the lively acidity. Despite its lightness, this shows intensity and length."
Stephen Tanzer - "Salmon skin color. Energetic, floral nose offers finely etched apple and pomegranate scents, along with delicate mineral and jasmine nuances. Dry, stony and fresh, with precise, fairly deep pear, rhubarb and subtle red berry flavors. Finishes on a dusty, mineral note, with very good length."
Winemaker Note - Just three years following its foundation, the House of Clicquot began illustrating its innovative spirit in 1775 by signing the very first bottle of Rosé in the history of Champagne.
In 1818, the House broke away from other Rosés produced by macerating black grapes in white wine, and created the Rosé Veuve Clicquot by blending red wines with white wines.
Elegant and fruity, this wine frees the senses, charms the eye and ravishes the palate. Proudly bearing the imperial red signature of Madame Clicquot, it promises moments of sheer pleasure.
