Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé Champagne

Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé is an expressive, elegant rosé Champagne defined by vibrant red-berry fruit, crisp acidity, and the house’s signature creamy finesse. It’s a polished, celebratory cuvée that shines as both an aperitif and a versatile food-pairing sparkler.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Introduced by Veuve Clicquot in homage to the innovations of Madame Clicquot, the Brut Rosé blends Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from 50–60 carefully selected crus across Champagne. Reserve wines—sometimes up to 45%—add depth and consistency.
Its signature pink color and added structure come from the inclusion of still red Pinot Noir, a method pioneered by the house in the early 19th century. The wine matures on its lees to build richness while maintaining freshness and vibrancy.
