Notes - In 1772, Philippe Clicquot founded a wine-making business under the name Clicquot. In 1798, his son François, who had taken over the family enterprise, married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin. At the time of François' death in 1805, the young 27-year-old widow decided to continue her husband’s legacy. A woman of vision, she became the driving force behind the prestige and success of the brand, which in 1810 was renamed Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin. Ever in pursuit of excellence and innovation, in 1816 Madame Clicquot invented the riddling table with the aim of obtaining clarified champagnes of unrivalled quality. She became known by her contemporaries as the "Grand Dame of Champagne", in recognition of her audacity and determination. A House specialty since the 1770s. The robust fruit flavors of Veuve Clicquot's vintage Rosé results from adding still Pinot Noir wine fromVeuve Clicquot's grand cru vineyards in the village of Bouzy. This wonderful, dry Champagne with its light rose glow and copper highlights is an ideal companion for delicate dishes like salmon or poultry and also as an apéritif. Vintage Réserve Rosé has a rosy tint with deep gold-bronze reflections. The mousse is delicate yet persistent. On the nose, initial notes of fresh red fruits, (strawberries, cherries), are followed by notes of minerals and violets. The full, energetic palate is harmonious with the nose, showing crisp yet subtle red fruits (redcurrants, pomegranates.) A perfect expression of the graciousness of Pinot Noir.
