Veuve Clicquot - 200 years of Champagne Rosé

It stretches between the Maison of Champagne 's most famous in the world, Veuve-Clicquot bound its history to that of Madame Barbe Nicole, daughter of Baron Nicolas Ponsardin, widow (veuve in French) at age 27, after the untimely death of François husband Clicquot. With an act of great determination she decided to take over the Maison of her father-in-law and, with boldness, intelligence and a very far-sighted vision, to spread her style all over the world .

He exported his Champagne abroad , not even stopping in front of the continental block of Napoleonic France, managing to bring it up to St. Petersburg , which inspired the homonymous cuvée. In addition, he was the creator of numerous innovations in the denomination: he created the first thousandth of Champagne, he conceived the Grand Cru vineyards , he developed a mechanism that allowed to rotate the bottles in the cellar, the so-called table de remuage , which allowed the achievement of greater clarity in the bottle, to become La Grande Dame di Champagne for everyone.

In 1818 Madame Clicquot wanted to go against the rules and create the first Champagne Rosé to be assembled , combining the red wines of the Bouzy region of Champagne that she loved so much with the still white wines that gave life to the Brut Yellow Label to obtain a more decisive Champagne Rosé, with a strong character: an elegant Rosé characterized by freshness, length and character, in which hints of fresh red fruits merge with refined notes of pain brioche and Viennese pastry.

During this year, to celebrate the 200 years of Champagne Rosé , Veuve-Clicquot proposes a particular version contained in a cake-shaped package composed of overlapping "paint cans", which becomes a valuable and customizable gift for the celebration of an exclusive birthday.
