The Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé Brut 2015 is a remarkable expression of the Maison’s rich legacy, reflecting its audacity, creativity, and boldness. First created by Madame Clicquot in 1810, the concept of vintage champagne was revolutionary, and Veuve Clicquot continues to honour that innovation with the 67th vintage of the Maison in 2015. Known for cultivating the art of ageing, this vintage encapsulates the essence of the House’s tradition of excellence and creativity.
The Vintage Rosé 2015 is a harmonious blend, with 50% Pinot Noir, which is sourced from the prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages. This provides the wine with the bold structure that is quintessentially Clicquot. The inclusion of 30% Chardonnay brings elegance and finesse, while 20% Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend with a soft fruitiness. To add depth and complexity, 13% of the blend comes from red still wine, exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown in Bouzy. This addition provides a beautiful depth of colour and a robust character.
A hallmark of this vintage is the use of large oak casks (11%), which gives the wine aromatic intensity and complexity, adding spicy notes, as well as subtle roast coffee and toasted aromas. The resulting champagne is both expressive and sophisticated, offering an energetic character that surprises with its freshness and complexity.
This Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé 2015 pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, particularly those with spicy, oriental, or Asian influences. Try it with dishes like spicy Catalan fish stew, grilled shrimp, or even a sushi platter. Its bright acidity and complexity complement the bold flavours of international cuisine, making it the perfect companion for adventurous palates.
