Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé 2012: The Elegance of a Prodigy Vintage

The Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé 2012 embodies the essence of an exceptional harvest, despite the challenges posed by harsh climatic conditions.

This champagne celebrates the 66th vintage of the House since the creation of its first Vintage champagne in 1810.

Here's a dive into the details that make this champagne a work of art in its own right:

• Expression of a Prodigious Vintage: The Vintage Rosé 2012 captures all the grandeur of an exceptional harvest, reflecting the know-how of Veuve Clicquot despite the difficult climatic conditions.

• Refined Blend: The composition of this blend is a symphony of carefully selected grape varieties. The predominance of Pinot Noir (51%) gives the wine the emblematic structure of Veuve Clicquot champagnes. The Chardonnay (34%) brings elegance and finesse, while the Pinot Meunier (15%) harmoniously completes the blend.

• The Art of Red Wine: The Vintage Rosé 2012 is distinguished by the addition of 13% still red wine, made exclusively from the Pinot Noir de Bouzy grape variety. This detail brings a unique depth and complexity to this rosé champagne.

• The Heritage of Oak Foudres: A striking feature of the Veuve Clicquot Vintage collection is the use of wines vinified and aged in oak barrels (11%). This technique adds a dimension of power and aromatic intensity to the champagne, creating subtle notes of wood, vanilla and spices.

Tasting Notes:

• Aromatic Depth: The Vintage Rosé 2012 offers a generous aromatic palette. Aromas of pulpy red fruits, such as strawberry and Morello cherry, flourish in the foreground.

• Noble Tannins: On the palate, the champagne unfolds dense notes of noble tannins, creating a velvety sensation that harmoniously balances the peppery, saffron and spicy flavors characteristic of the wine.

• Balanced Power: The palate is powerful and voluminous, with a frank and clean attack which gives way to a balanced and elegant sensory experience.

• Signature of the Cellar Master: Each sip of Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé 2012 reflects the dedication and expertise of the House Cellar Master, who has captured the very essence of this prodigy vintage.

Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé 2012 is much more than just a champagne; it is an artisanal masterpiece that embodies the heritage, creativity and passion of Veuve Clicquot.
